Report Launch: Beyond Fragmentation: Advancing Coherence, Equity and Indigenous Leadership Across the Rio Conventions

This year, Nia Tero has launched "Beyond Fragmentation: Advancing Coherence, Equity, and Indigenous Leadership Across the Rio Conventions," authored by Minnie Degawan (Kankanaey-Igorot, Philippines).

The report highlights how Indigenous Peoples have engaged for decades in global efforts to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation. Yet their participation in the U.N. conventions dedicated to these issues has not yet translated into meaningful influence. This report examines how fragmentation across the Rio Conventions has impacted Indigenous Peoples’ participation. It offers insights for strengthening coherence, significant engagement, and Indigenous leadership in shaping environmental outcomes.

Learn more about this report and check out a copy at this event, to be held during the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification conference (COP17) in Mongolia.

Event interpretation available in English, Spanish, Mongolia, French and Portuguese.
