The Permanent Forum thanks Finance in Common, a global network of public development banks, for its invitation to the fourth Finance in Common Summit. The Forum encourages the continuation of collaborative efforts to enhance support for the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The Permanent Forum reiterates that it has urged all United Nations entities and States parties to treaties concerning the environment, biodiversity and climate change to eliminate the use of the term “local communities” in conjunction with Indigenous Peoples, and to distinguish between the terms, in ongoing processes, policies and new international agreements at all levels.
