Indigenous Peoples and Local communities (IPLCs) are key actors in the conservation of nature. It is no coincidence that the world’s last remaining forests and 80% of the biodiversity of the planet are found in their territories. Thurs, IPLCs from are key actor to revert the current biodiversity loss and climate crisis. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) are negotiating a post-2020 global biodiversity framework which will be the agenda for nature for the next 30 years (2022-2050). The International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity (IIFB) and its members organization have been contributing to the negotiation process of the Framework to ensure that IPLCs rights are appropriately and adequately reflected and respected in all key goals, targets and indicators of the Framework. In this event, the Co-Chairs of the Post-2020 GBF Working Group will provide an update on the status of the negotiations and IIFB members will provide their views on the Framework ahead of COP 15 which will take place in Montreal, Canada. An exchange of views with panellists and attendees, with a focus on convergence points between biodiversity and climate change, will follow.
