Welcome to the United Nations
Addressee: UNEP
Full Text
The Permanent Forum expresses concern over the current implementation of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, where reliance on State and non-State intermediaries and on efforts designed by States continues to marginalize Indigenous Peoples whose lands and territories are central to restoration efforts. The Forum calls upon the United Nations Environment Programme to fulfil the Decade’s transformative promise by ensuring the recognition of Indigenous Peoples as rights holders and ecological stewards, ensuring direct access to finance and embedding their leadership in the next five-year strategic plans in the mechanisms supporting Indigenous-led restoration.
