Ce que dit le Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité au sujet des droits des peuples autochtones et des droits humains
Summary
The document analyzes the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework, noting its commitment to a human-rights-based approach and the recognition of indigenous territories. While it praises the protection of environmental human rights defenders in Target 22 and gender equality in Target 23, it warns that Target 3's goal of protecting 30% of the world could lead to human rights violations if indigenous peoples are excluded. It highlights critical gaps in Target 15 regarding corporate accountability and Target 8 regarding climate change and human rights, and urges NGOs to push for concrete implementation protocols and legal recognition of indigenous-managed areas.
Key insights
- The Global Biodiversity Framework mandates a human-rights-based approach to implementation, emphasizing the need to respect the rights, traditional knowledge, and worldviews of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs), as well as their effective participation in decision-making.
- Target 22 is identified as a crucial victory for the protection of environmental human rights defenders and ensures inclusive, gender-sensitive participation and access to justice for IPLCs.
- Target 23 specifically addresses gender equality, calling for the empowerment of women and girls and their equal access to land, natural resources, and leadership in biodiversity policy and decision-making.
- The goal to protect 30% of the world's land and sea (Target 3) presents a risk of continuing historical patterns of excluding indigenous territories and violating human rights, although it does recognize indigenous and traditional territories as a form of conservation.
- Significant gaps exist in the framework: Target 15 lacks human rights elements regarding the private sector and corporate influence, Target 8 fails to specifically mention human rights in the context of climate change, and Targets 22 and 23 lack adequate monitoring mechanisms and indicators.
