The Stakeholder Toolkit is a directory of resources for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs and LCs). It categorizes tools into training for international climate conferences (such as COP27), data-sharing and monitoring software (like Forest Watcher and Mapeo), and guides for companies and subnational governments to respect land and forest tenure rights. It also lists key global alliances and organizations, such as the Rights and Resources Initiative and the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, that support the rights of forest communities and the protection of nature.

• The toolkit identifies several digital tools for environmental monitoring and land rights documentation, including Forest Watcher for monitoring deforestation and fires, Mapeo for documenting human rights and land information, and the Rights and Resources Initiative Tenure Tool for tracking forest area under four tenure categories based on national law.
• Capacity-building resources are provided to help Indigenous Peoples engage with international bodies, specifically through training for the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP27) and a self-paced course on engaging with the United Nations.
• The document lists guidelines and frameworks intended for external actors to ensure the respect of Indigenous and local rights, including the Guiding Principles for Collaboration and Partnership Between Subnational Governments, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities and the Respecting Land and Forest Rights guide for companies.
• The toolkit highlights the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities as a political platform representing forest territories across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, consisting of five organizations: AMAN, AMPB, APIB, COICA, and REPALEAC.
