The Sustainable Development Agenda is centered on people and the planet, underpinned by human rights, and supported by a global partnership determined to lift people out of poverty, hunger, and disease. It will, thus, be built on a foundation of global cooperation and solidarity.

COP15 negotiations are underway in Montreal, and there will be many decisions made, each of these decisions made by member states will have a profound impact on Indigenous communities, and it's absolutely critical that these decisions center on a human rights-based approach and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples; especially when it comes to area-based conservation, biodiversity conservation, fair and equitable benefit sharing from the use of genetic resources and the risk assessment of living modified organisms.

Indigenous Peoples have known how to live on and take care of the land since times immemorial. We know that wherever you find cultural diversity, you will be sure to find biological diversity, in fact, globally there are overlaps of areas rich in biodiversity with areas of cultural and linguistic diversity. These are the areas managed by Indigenous Peoples.
