Guyana - Indigenous Peoples Demand Action on Land Rights, Consent Issues

At a week-long workshop on 'Indigenous Peoples' Rights, Extractive Industries and National Development Policies in Guyana' from 2-8 March 2010, the topics covered were: indigenous peoples' right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and the extractive sector, the Government of Guyana's recent Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and REDD+ policies. Amerindian leaders shared their experiences of both public-sector and private development projects and proposals within their territories. They concluded that Guyana's current practices do not adequately respect the rights of indigenous peoples.

Forestry industry urged to tackle conflict with local people
Conflict between companies that profit from forests and the local people who depend on them could be tackled by industry-led approaches, but too few companies look for solutions beyond their legal obligations. The report below - commissioned by The Forests Dialogue (TFD), an international group of forest experts from business, environmental, academic and human rights groups - takes stock of the extent of corporate engagement with conflict resolution.

Seeing 'REDD'?
Forests, climate change mitigation and the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities

This is an updated version of FPP's earlier report, prepared for the UNFCCC COP 14 (Poznan) in December 2008.
As REDD proposals and projects gather momentum to determine how developing country forests will be included in global efforts to mitigate climate change, this report analyses national, international and NGO initiatives. It identifies that to achieve effective and sustainable results, forest peoples must be involved at all levels and their rights upheld.

However, this updated report finds that forest peoples continue to be sidelined at the national and international levels, and governments have yet to make firm commitments to uphold their rights.

No Silver Bullet for Combating Deforestation
Throwing huge amounts of money at forest problems in developing countries through Reduced Emissions from Deforestation (RED) schemes is no guarantee that forest loss will be stopped or even slowed down. In fact, it could even cause more problems for forest peoples and push deforestation into new areas.
