SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A broad coalition of 25 governments and private philanthropic entities released the first progress report on the US$1.7B pledged for the tenure rights and forest guardianship of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IP and LC). Three new funders joined the pledge in 2022, showing a growing impetus to achieve this goal, and 19% of the pledge amount was delivered — although that money was mostly channeled through international and national NGOs and far less to the organizations of IP and LC themselves.

Key Points: 
  • All four pledges have a shared focus of protecting forests and recognizing the importance of IP and LC as forest guardians.
  • A recent assessment of the progress made on stopping global deforestation by 2030 found that initial progress was too slow to meet the overall goal.
  • The expert panel of scientists advising UN climate negotiators cited the urgent need to recognize Indigenous peoples' rights and to support Indigenous knowledge-based adaptation, calling Indigenous peoples "critical to reducing climate change risks and effective adaptation (with very high confidence)."
  • The Funders Group, which was established in 2022 and chaired by the United Kingdom, will report annually on Pledge progress.
