The present study contributes to filling a knowledge gap on gender dimensions of TKT, particularly with understanding IPLC women’s TKT and barriers and enabling factors to integrate their TKT in conventional climate solutions.

Communal land and forest tenure rights for Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) is critical for the success of emission reduction program (ERP) implementation. This report discusses core findings about the nature and range of emergent opportunities associated with efforts to advance, strengthen, and leverage rights and presents the main opportunities in six selected countries.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages.

Indigenous Peoples’ food systems promote the equitable distribution of resources and power, and support Indigenous identities and values. Food-generative practices are often localized, making use of communal resources and supported by traditional governance systems. Exchange is often barter-based or founded on reciprocal agreements. Indigenous Peoples’ lands, waters, and resources are often used, managed, or governed collectively as a common resource under community-based management. Indigenous Peoples’ systems of collective ownership of resources and food sharing can thus support inter- and intra-community cooperation, the cultivation and maintenance of shared identities, and healthy, resilient, and culturally appropriate food systems.

The report describes ongoing impacts on Arctic livelihoods through the voices of Arctic residents. It represents a contribution to a broader call for mobilising all relevant knowledge about Arctic environmental change and resilience, which impact not only Arctic inhabitants but also all populations on the planet.Furthermore, the report explores the interplay of traditional knowledge with scientific research practices, highlighting the key essential conditions found in successful cases of collaboration between traditional knowledge-holders and scientists.

This paper provides the building blocks to help private sector players invest in initiatives that address social determinants of health concerns in their communities. Through analysis of pioneering initiatives, the paper extrapolates key overarching guidelines and principles, as well as steps for design planning, implementation and monitoring.

The report describes status and trends on key biotic elements in the terrestrial Arctic. It is based on Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring Plan and provides an important milestone towards its implementation. CBMP (Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program) is the core programme of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna Working Group (CAFF) of the Arctic Council.

The document summarizes the report that, based on a review of more than 250 studies, demonstrates the importance and urgency of climate action to protect the forests of the indigenous and tribal territories of Latin America as well as the indigenous and tribal peoples who protect them. These territories contain about a third of the continent's forests. That's 14% of the carbon stored in tropical forests around the world; These territories are also home to an enormous diversity of wild fauna and flora and play a key role in stabilizing the local and regional climate.

The fifth edition of Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-5) is a final report card on progress against the 20 global biodiversity targets agreed in 2010 with a 2020 deadline, and offers lessons learned and best practices for getting on track. Towards a landmark new global post-2020 biodiversity framework: GBO-5 synthesizes scientific basis for urgent action.

This paper outlines all the rights that peoples practicing CFM should enjoy. On the one hand, this is to ensure they can live in their territories, and be able to control their lives and preserve their cultures—which involve living in harmony with the ecosystems they inhabit. On the other hand, this would enable them to continue fulfilling the role of traditional caretakers and guardians of Nature, which ensures their ability to remain in their territories.
