The document outlines the formation of the Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee (IPAC) to integrate Indigenous knowledge and science into the IAI's scientific agenda on Global Environmental Change (GEC). It specifies that the committee will consist of five members from IAI member countries, emphasizing equitable representation of women and youth. The IPAC is designed to provide recommendations on the IAI's Strategic Plan and scientific agenda, working alongside the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC). The text also details the candidate requirements, nomination process, and the IAI's broader Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) policy.

• The Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee (IPAC) is tasked with providing recommendations to the Conference of the Parties regarding the IAI's Scientific Agenda, Strategic Plan, annual program, and the implementation of the EDI policy.
• The IPAC will be composed of five individuals from IAI member countries who identify as belonging to Indigenous Peoples and possess experience in Global Environmental Change (GEC).
• Candidates for the committee are not required to hold formal academic degrees; the IAI values equivalent experience, community leadership, and knowledge of Indigenous worldviews.
• The IAI adopts the Canadian Government's definition of 'Indigenous Science', describing it as a systematic body of knowledge that complements Western science and covers domains such as weather, plants, and animal behaviors.
• Initial committee members will serve until the CoP-34 in 2026, after which members will be elected by the Parties at annual meetings. Future terms will be three years, renewable for two additional years.
• The IAI's Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Policy seeks to ensure the participation of underrepresented groups, including women, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, and racialized groups, across all transdisciplinary projects.
• The IAI supports research in strategic areas including climate change adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and the security of food, water, and energy.
