The Permanent Forum recommends that member States and relevant United Nations agencies place employment, decent work, social protection and recognition of traditional occupations and livelihoods of indigenous peoples, including pastoralism, on the post-2015 development agenda. A focus on indigenous peoples’ access to decent work, livelihoods and social protection is of utmost importance in this context. It will provide the opportunity to work globally towards building the enabling conditions for capturing the opportunities of sustainable development for pastoralists.
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.
