GCRF Inclusive Societies: Indigenous-International Interactions for Sustainable Development

该项目旨在探索和促进土著知识如何为应对气候变化和资源开采的不利影响的国际对策提供信息，并在总体上支持可持续、公平和包容性增长和发展。它将通过与玻利维亚、乌干达和巴布亚新几内亚(巴布亚新几内亚)这三个发展中国家的土著社区接触来实现这一目标。这些国家被选为令人信服的案例研究，展示土著群体面临的各种地理、历史和政治背景，但有共同的农村贫困经历，特别是在被边缘化的土著人口中。玻利维亚、乌干达和巴布亚新几内亚的大多数人以农业和畜牧业为主要组成部分，依靠维持生计为生。采矿被认为是一项主要的创收活动，以促进这些矿产丰富的国家的发展，与自然资源市场并驾齐驱。尽管土著人民从相关的谋生机会中获得了一些好处，但他们仍然是最贫穷的社会群体之一，土著妇女尤其被经济增长的好处边缘化。大多数与土著人民有关的发展项目都是家长式的，未能建立在当地知识和技能的基础上。我们的目标是支持可持续、包容各方和公平的发展和增长，办法是研究如何加强对土著知识的国际参与，以激励在科学和政治做法和原则方面的创新，并产生可在其他地方复制的产出和影响。为此，我们将与土著人民和传统生态知识(TEK)接触并研究其在根据2015年《巴黎协定》和2016年EITI标准实现可持续、公平和包容性发展方面的作用。作为第一步，我们将促进每个土著社区(玻利维亚洛梅里奥、乌干达卡拉莫贾和巴布亚新几内亚OK Tedi)的地方大会和参与性视频，以编写指导方针报告，说明社区希望如何应对气候变化和资源开采，反映他们祖先和基于地方的知识和对未来的展望。结果也将通过数字故事地图来获取，这种地图通过照片上的文本或链接到数字地图上地理位置的短视频剪辑来结合故事讲述，并通过出版的书籍进行交流。总而言之，这可以为与利益攸关方和更广泛的公众共享关键成果提供一个强大的平台。作为第二步，该项目将促进在附近城市举行的土著和政府代表圆桌会议，共同制定应对气候变化和资源开采的治理对策。作为第三步，步骤1和步骤2的结果将在关于气候变化和资源开采的国际会议上讨论，以通报和影响国际谈判和治理进程。通过这种方式，土著知识和愿景可有助于实现可持续、公平和包容性的增长和发展。

This project seeks to explore and facilitate the ways in which indigenous knowledge can inform international responses to the adverse effects of climate change and resource extraction specifically, and support sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth and development generally. It will do so by engaging with indigenous communities in three developing countries, Bolivia, Uganda and Papua New Guinea (PNG). These countries were chosen as compelling case studies to demonstrate a diversity of geographical, historical and political contexts faced by indigenous groups, yet with shared experiences of rural poverty, particularly among marginalised indigenous populations. The majority of people in Bolivia, Uganda and PNG are dependent on subsistence-based livelihoods with agriculture and livestock as key components. Mining is endorsed as a main income generating activity to promote development in these mineral-rich countries, alongside markets for natural resources. Despite some benefit from associated livelihood opportunities, indigenous people remain one of the poorest social groups with indigenous women particularly marginalised from the benefits of economic growth. Most developmental projects with indigenous people have been paternalistic and failed to build on local knowledge and skills.We aim to support sustainable, inclusive and equitable development and growth by looking into the ways in which a strengthened international engagement with indigenous knowledge can inspire innovations in science and political practices and principles and to generate output and impact that can be replicated elsewhere. To do so, we will engage with, and examine the role of, indigenous peoples and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in delivering sustainable, equitable and inclusive development in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 2016 EITI Standard.As a first step, we will a facilitate a local Assembly in each indigenous community (in Lomerio in Bolivia, in Karamoja in Uganda and in Ok Tedi in PNG) and participatory videos to develop guideline reports stating how the community wishes to address climate change and resource extraction, reflecting their ancestral and place-based knowledge and visions for the future. The results will be captured also through digital story-maps, which combine storytelling through text on photo or short video clips linked to a geographic location on a digital map, and communicated through a published book. Together, this can provide a powerful platform for sharing key results with stakeholders and broader publics. As a second step, the project will facilitate Roundtables in a nearby city among indigenous and government representatives to co-create governance responses to climate change and resource extraction. As a third step, the results from Step 1 and Step 2 will be discussed at international conferences on climate change and resource extraction to inform and influence international negotiating and governance processes. In this way, indigenous knowledge and visions can contribute to the delivery of sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth and development.
