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

This introductory text for an annotated bibliography discusses the opportunities and risks carbon markets present for indigenous peoples. It emphasizes the need for free, prior and informed consent, the importance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and identifies a specific lack of information regarding First Nations in Canada.

• Carbon markets offer indigenous communities a chance to establish an economic sector compatible with sustainable forest management and traditional lifestyles, while providing governments and industry an opportunity to create meaningful partnerships and policies.
• Indigenous communities globally express concern over the lack of effort to include them in carbon markets or assess the social impacts of related policies. They 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 a framework for minimum international standards.
• The survey of literature for the bibliography indicates a lack of specific information regarding First Nations in Canada and carbon markets, suggesting an information void that must be addressed for these groups to participate in such markets.
