Paragraph #25Session #17 (2018)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum urges the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity to undertake, in collaboration with indigenous peoples, a study on the contributions of indigenous peoples to the management of ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity, and submit a report to the Forum by its nineteenth session.

Responses

CBD: The ad hoc open-ended Working Group on Article 8(j) and Related Provisions (the Working Group), which deals with matters of relevance to indigenous peoples, such as traditional knowledge, meets every two years. At its next (i.e. 11th) meeting, sometime in the Fall of 2019 (to be confirmed), the Working Group will consider these recommendations, as well as other recommendations which may arise from the UNPFII at its 18th session in 2019.
