The paper reviews a series of COP26 outcomes considered to be of particular relevance to indigenous peoples, and analyses to what extent these outcomes may constitute specific threats or opportunities for indigenous peoples. Finally, it sets out some recommendations that indigenous rights advocates may find useful for their advocacy with governments, companies, investors, and philanthropic organisations.

The  UNFCCC Climate Conference (COP26) in Glasgow last month came at a critical point in the fight against climate change and the ecological and humanitarian crisis facing humanity and the planet. Despite the pandemic, hundreds of Indigenous Peoples and Local Community leaders and activists made it to Glasgow.  

Indigenous peoples have long called for national and global actions to tackle the root causes of climate and environmental destruction and associated rights abuse. Yet, from their experience, global climate policies developed and implemented to date have often marginalised their communities and failed to uphold their rights.

Los pueblos indígenas han pedido desde hace mucho tiempo que se tomen medidas nacionales y mundiales para hacer frente a las causas fundamentales de la destrucción del clima y el medioambiente y el abuso de los derechos colectivos asociados. Sin embargo, de acuerdo a su experiencia, las políticas climáticas mundiales desarrolladas e implementadas hasta la fecha a menudo han marginado a sus comunidades y no han respetado sus derechos.

The UNFCCC Climate Conference (COP26) begins next week in Glasgow. COP26 comes at a critical point in the fight against climate change, and many Indigenous Peoples and Local Community (IPLC) representatives will be attending.

In the aftermath of the terrible terrorist attacks that have shocked the whole world, it will be a different climate change summit (COP21) to the one that the UN and France had imagined.

Después de los terribles ataques terroristas que han conmocionado a todo el mundo, la cumbre sobre el cambio climático (COP 21) será muy diferente a la que las Naciones Unidas y Francia habían imaginado.Por eso el mundo tiene la mirada puesta en París con sentimientos de angustia y expectativa. Se espera que las Partes en la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) lleguen a un acuerdo que será la base para un futuro régimen internacional sobre cambio climático a partir del 2020. Tres acciones determinantes son cruciales: i) limitar el aumento de la temperatura a 1,5 °C, ii) intensificar la financiación para hacer frente al cambio climático, y iii) contraer compromisos O simplemente ofrecer contribuciones. Esta última acción determinará si se llega o no a un acuerdo vinculante en París basado en la justicia climática y un enfoque basado en los derechos.

Après les attaques terroristes terribles qui ont choqué le monde entier, le sommet sur les changements climatiques (COP21) sera différent de celui que les Nations Unies et la France avaient imaginé.Le monde se tourne donc vers Paris avec des sentiments mitigés de douleur et d’attente. Il est attendu des Parties à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC) qu’elles parviennent à un accord qui deviendra la base du régime futur sur les changements climatiques après 2020. Trois actions décisives sont essentielles : (i) limiter la hausse des températures à 1,5°C (ii) accroître le financement de l’action climatique, et (iii) prendre des engagements OU simplement proposer des contributions. Ce dernier point déterminera si Paris aboutit ou non à un accord contraignant basé sur la justice climatique et une approche fondée sur les droits.
