Indigenous and Community Engagement in REDD
Copenhagen, Denmark
On Saturday, December 12, 2009, Forest Trends and the Katoomba Group, in partnership with Fundación Amigos de la Naturaleza – Bolivia, hosted a side event at COP 15 which focused on the role that indigenous peoples and local communities can play in developing carbon projects and policy. Panelists at the side event included Almir Suruí, Chief of the Suruí people, Rebecca Moore of Google, Tony Brunello, Deputy Secretary for Climate Change and the Environment for the State of California, and representatives from Fundación Amigos de la Naturaleza Bolivia, La Confederación Nacional de Pueblos Indígenas de Bolivia (CIDOB), and Instituto Socioambiental (ISA). The panel concluded with an inspiring message from Jane Goodall talking about the importance of active community involvement in the development of site-based forest carbon initiatives.
