The Integrated Strategy for Control of Deforestation and Forest Management “Forests, Territories of Life” (Estrategia Integral de Control de la Deforestación y Gestión de los Bosques (EICDGB) “Bosques Territorios de Vida”) is a cross-sectoral policy instrument that involves the co-responsibility of the different sectors of the Colombian State, and whose objective is to stop deforestation and forest degradation, addressing the complexity of the causes and agents that create them, starting from the recognition of the strategic significance of these ecosystems for the country, due to their sociocultural, economic and environmental importance, given their potential as a development option within the framework of the peace-building process, and for their contribution to mitigation and adaptation to climate change (MADS, 2018) -
BookletForest governance by indigenous and tribal peoples: An opportunity for climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean 2021
Also available in:
The document summarizes the report that, based on a review of more than 250 studies, demonstrates the importance and urgency of climate action to protect the forests of the indigenous and tribal territories of Latin America as well as the indigenous and tribal peoples who protect them. These territories contain about a third of the continent's forests. That's 14% of the carbon stored in tropical forests around the world; These territories are also home to an enormous diversity of wild fauna and flora and play a key role in stabilizing the local and regional climate. Based on an analysis of the approaches that have proven effective in recent decades, a set of investments and policies is proposed for adoption by climate funders and government decision-makers in collaboration with indigenous and tribal peoples. These measures are grouped into five main categories: i) strengthening of collective territorial rights; ii) compensate indigenous and tribal communities for the environmental services they provide; iii) facilitate community forest management; iv) revitalize traditional cultures and knowledge; and v) strengthen territorial governance and indigenous and tribal organizations. Preliminary analysis suggests that these investments could significantly reduce expected carbon emissions at a low cost, in addition to offering many other environmental and social benefits.
