Elaborating on IPBES Nature Futures Framework to Enhance Social Equity of Biodiversity Conservation for Indigenous Peoples
English (396)
A new perspective paper published in the journal Biological Conversation proposes a scenario titled “Rights for Life” to achieve biodiversity targets "in a socially-equitable ways by focusing on the Nature's and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) rights."
Building on the IPBES Nature Futures Framework, the authors "contribute to understanding of governance aspects in positive nature-based future scenarios by considering what kinds of governance approaches could be used to achieve the 'Rights for Life' scenario in a way that is able to balance between the value perspectives of 'Nature for Nature', 'Nature for Society', and 'Nature as Culture'."
Also citing the IPBES Global Assessment and preliminary work for the IPBES Values Assessment, the authors note that "IPBES (2019) has recognized the need to enhance social equity for IPLCs, and that among the local indicators developed and used by indigenous peoples and local communities, 72 % show negative trends in nature that underpin local livelihoods and human well-being."
The authors recommend linking to future policy-relevant scenario exercises conducted by applying the Nature Futures Framework and the three value perspectives, as well as recognizing IPLCs' and Nature's rights explicitly in policies and laws to enable transformation towards sustainability.
