The video revolves around the challenges faced by indigenous peoples in accessing the Green Climate Fund, including meaningful inclusion and active engagement in decision-making processes. It also seeks to highlight essential recommendations of indigenous peoples to the Fund, towards a more inclusive and culturally-responsive development and implementation of GCF projects in indigenous territories and, thus, contributing to the recognition of indigenous peoples' contributions to climate change mitigation and their right to sustainable and self-determined development.

At the Bonn 2015 Climate Change Conference, Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) and Tebtebba held the side event 'Deforestation, Climate Finance and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: the cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF).’

In this video by IISD Reporting Services, the event panelists discuss the need for the Green Climate Fund and upcoming UNFCCC decisions to adopt a rights-based approach to climate change. Panelists also discuss the drivers of deforestation in the DRC and gave examples of eviction of indigenous peoples from their land.

Synopsis:

The video shows the implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Sustainable Self-Determined Development (IPSSDD) training among the Mayangna indigenous community of Musawas Sauni As Territory in Nicaragua during the first half of 2021. It also shares how the community leaders viewed the IPSSDD training as a venue that provided space for discussion about their issues and the various challenges they face. To them, the training was also a beneficial space for them to lay their strategies that can further strengthen their communal territorial governance and secure their territories.

COP18 (29/11/12) – Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Executive Director of Tebtebba and a Philippine negotiator, explains that this COP must agree how REDD+ is financed and how best it is implemented.

Tauli-Corpuz explains that she is co-chairing a working group under SBSTA on how to create national forest monitoring systems, track the emission reductions that forests are responsible for and how to implement the REDD+ safeguards agreed in Cancun.

Tauli-Corpuz explains there is a division between governments only willing to pay for carbon emission reductions and developing countries that are keen for biodiversity and poverty reduction to be included in the aims of REDD+ programmes.

Tauli-Corpuz emphasises that REDD+ must safeguard the rights and cultural history of indigenous peoples. She explains that indigenous peoples are concerned that the view of forests as little more than ‘carbon sinks’ could lead to the displacement of and the undermining of the livelihoods of indigenous peoples.
