Indigenous Peoples: Defending an Environment for All
Indigenous Peoples steward 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity on 20% of Earth's land, yet they face ongoing marginalization in international environmental negotiations. While instruments like UNDRIP and the Nagoya Protocol have advanced the recognition of their rights to self-determination and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), the document argues that Western scientific and political worldviews continue to dominate processes in the UNFCCC and IPBES. The brief calls for a shift from tokenistic inclusion to genuine leadership by Indigenous Peoples to ensure a sustainable future.
