The Permanent Forum welcomes the $1.7 billion pledge in support of indigenous peoples made by Governments and private funders at the twenty-sixth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Glasgow, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, the Permanent Forum is concerned that this pledge does not adequately address the effects of climate change. An effective response to the challenges presented by global climate change requires a concerted effort that encompasses all seven sociocultural regions of the world. The Permanent Forum requests that the pledge-givers include indigenous peoples from all seven sociocultural regions as recipients and redefine the scope of their commitment so that the funding is not only about forests and land tenure, but also reflects indigenous peoples’ self-determination, the building of alliances and the strengthening of indigenous peoples’ local economies, governance systems and resource management strategies.
