We published our Issue Paper 2 "Indigenous Participation: Transforming Climate Action."

This document presents the findings of a research study on the different visions between stateled conservation and Indigenous territorial rights. Based on an ethnographic, documentary, and participatory analysis, it examines how the State and the Indigenous communities conceive and manage the territory, as well as the strategies these communities have developed to defend their rights. The objective is to provide inputs to rethink climate mitigation and adaptation, and advance towards a conservation model that ensures both biodiversity and Indigenous territorial security.

“It’s like when you file a complaint because someone entered your home, but about this home — where is a document that proves you are the owner, or something like that? You have nothing, so you have no right to anything. Unfortunately, the State got us so used to this. These legal paradoxes where, no matter what, we need land titles in order to claim something; if not, you have no right to anything.” (Young Indigenous leader, 2023)
