Conservation and climate change actions must be inclusive and holistic for them to be sustainable and impactful, with customary tenure recognition as an essential pillar. Specifically IPLCs with women, who maintain, protect, conserve and manage their territories of life have a significant role in climate actions and solutions. IPLC and CSO members from the ICCA Consortium SEA and the CSO Forum on Social Forestry in ASEAN, will present key messages from the Api-Api Declaration and other calls, which speaks to the reality of IPLCs territories of life in Southeast Asia remaining largely unprotected and not recognized and face various threats and challenges by the planetary crisis that we face much at the expense of indigenous peoples territories and their natural resources. Among others, speakers will call on all governments, and relevant funding agencies, to continue, or initiate, direct financial provision for indigenous peoples and our communities, including through collaborative territorial management and monitoring activities and for climate resilience actions; and where new initiatives and mechanisms emerge, like carbon financing and nature-based solutions, which identify new monetary values in our lands and territories, their implementation must be based on full respect for the rights and recognition of IPLC and women roles and contributions in providing solutions to the biodiversity and climate crises.
