Fair and effective climate policies: engaging indigenous peoples
731 Downloads
The participation of indigenous peoples in climate action is widely recognised as a crucial element in formulating inclusive and effective policies. This is not only because indigenous peoples receive relatively greater impacts resulting from the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, but also because they possess traditional knowledge, technologies and practices for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
This publication analyses experiences promoted by EUROCLIMA+ in the region that seek, on the one hand, to promote their participation as part of public policy formulation processes in the climate field and, on the other hand, to rescue and revalue their traditional knowledge and practices for a more effective approach that reinforces their resilience.

Nature-based Solutions have increasingly gained relevance in the field of climate action, and have been incorporated into countries' climate plans (Nationally Determined Contributions - NDCs).
La participación de los pueblos indígenas en la acción climática es ampliamente reconocida como un elemento crucial para formular políticas incluyentes y efectivas. Ello no sólo se debe a que los pueblos indígenas reciben impactos relativamente mayores, resultantes de los efectos del cambio climático y la pérdida de biodiversidad, sino también porque poseen conocimientos, tecnologías y prácticas tradicionales para la mitigación y adaptación ante el cambio climático.
Las Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza (SbN) se centran en la importancia de los ecosistemas y los servicios que estos brindan a las personas, para ofrecer soluciones sostenibles a retos sociales, económicos y ambientales.
