First Nations Carbon Collaborative-Indigenous Peoples and Carbon Markets: An annotated bibliography

The document argues that carbon markets offer indigenous communities opportunities for economic development aligned with sustainable forest management, provided that governments ensure free, prior and informed consent and protect land and carbon rights. It highlights a global lack of effort to involve indigenous peoples in carbon market policy and notes a specific information void regarding First Nations in Canada.

• Carbon markets present a potential economic opportunity for indigenous communities to align financial development with sustainable forest management and traditional lifestyles, while offering governments and industry a chance to establish meaningful partnerships.
• There is a global concern regarding the failure to involve indigenous communities in carbon markets and a lack of consideration for the social impacts of related policies. Indigenous peoples assert that free, prior and informed consent is necessary for the development of carbon market regulations, with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples serving as the framework for international standards.
• A survey of available literature indicates that while there is general information on indigenous peoples and carbon markets, there is a significant lack of information specifically concerning First Nations in Canada, creating an information void that hinders their participation in these markets.
