¿Qué dice el Marco Mundial de Biodiversidad acerca de los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas y los derechos humanos?
Summary
The fact sheet analyzes the Global Biodiversity Framework's (GBF) approach to human rights, highlighting positive inclusions such as the protection of environmental human rights defenders and gender equality, while warning of gaps in corporate accountability and climate-related human rights protections.
Key insights
- The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) mandates a human rights-based approach to implementation, which includes recognizing the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment and ensuring the full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in decision-making.
- Target 22 is identified as a fundamental victory because it provides for the full protection of environmental human rights defenders and ensures equitable, inclusive, and gender-perspective representation in decision-making, including access to information and justice for IPLCs.
- Target 23 focuses on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, specifically recognizing their equal rights to land and natural resources and their leadership in biodiversity-related policy and action.
- Target 3, which aims to protect 30% of the world, is viewed with mixed feelings; while it recognizes indigenous territories as a form of conservation, there is a significant risk that expanding protected areas could lead to human rights violations if IPLCs are excluded.
- The document identifies critical omissions in the GBF: Target 15 lacks a human rights element regarding the private sector, Target 8 lacks specific mention of human rights regarding climate change, and key targets (22 and 23) lack adequate indicators and monitoring mechanisms.
