Title: Indigenous peoples and climate change: From victims to change agents through Decent Work
Description: This report rejects the characterization of Indigenous people as “victims”. It states that indigenous peoples, numbering over 370 million worldwide , “are at the vanguard of running modern green economies”, and “if they have access to decent work opportunities; if they are empowered to participate in decision making; if their rights are protected; and if policies address their social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities while honing their positive potential as partners, workers, entrepreneurs and innovators, indigenous peoples will become empowered agents of change who can play a vital role in spurring green growth and combating climate change.”
