Addressee: Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity

Paragraph #112Session #9 (2010)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum calls upon the parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to adopt the terminology “indigenous peoples and local communities” as an accurate reflection of the distinct identities developed by those entities since the adoption of the Convention almost 20 years ago.

Responses

SCBD reports (2011): This request will be considered at 7 WG8j and COP 11. Indigenous and local communities remains the text of the Convention however in various COP decisions to date, the terms have been used inconsistently.
