• 3:00-4:30PM Co-constructing Equitable Financial Paradigms for Forest Guardianship

  Title: Co-constructing Equitable Financial Paradigms for Forest Guardianship 

  Speakers:
  Paula Caballero (Regional Managing Director for Latin America, TNC)
  Sonia Guajajara (Minister of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil)
  Angela Amanakwa Kaxuyana (Member of the Fiscal Council, Podáali Fund)
  Garo Batmanian (General Director, Brazilian Forest Service, SFB)
  José Otavio (Director for the Brazilian Amazon, TNC Brasil) 

  Description: Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs), recognized as the guardians of forests, govern and manage an estimated 45% of the intact Amazon Forest, 39% of global lands that are in good ecological condition, and 17 percent of all forest carbon. Despite this, IPs and LCs receive less than 1% of climate mitigation and adaptation aid and only ~5% of financing targeting IPs and LCs is directly allocated to them, with most funding going to international organizations. Indigenous Peoples face a poverty rate more than two times that of the non-Indigenous population in Latin America and are increasingly under threat due to roll-backs in legal protections, encroachment, and political violence. We live in world of stark environmental inequality, where the richest nations and individuals have a carbon footprint more than 120x greater than that of the poorest populations.

  This event will explore strategies for financial and economic systems change to help strengthen rights and income and to clear the way for Indigenous Peoples and local communities to continue championing nature guardianship. We will focus on financial architecture reforms, systems, and actions needed to channel direct financing to forest stewards, to sustain their traditional ways while helping the world meet its climate goals.
