IPAM, together with partners, Conservation International, Environmental Defense Fund, Woods Hole Research Center, and The Nature Conservancy, produced four policy briefs on aspects of REDD policy.

This one is a joint position on indigenous peoples and local communities and REDD+: indigenous peoples and local communities are engaged in discussions on climate change to a limited extent both internationally and nationally. However, there are still information gaps on what threat global warming represents to their communities. There is a need to explore how REDD+ mechanisms will impact Indigenous Peoples and local communities, how they will ensure equitable distribution of benefits, and respect their rights.

Indigenous Peoples and the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism in the Brazilian Amazon – Subsidies to the Discussion of Benefits Sharing

The purpose of this publication is to provide a better understanding on the contribution of indigenous perspectives to the discussion of REDD+ benefit sharing, based on some indig- enous’ points of view and experiences of the Amazon indigenous peoples in Brazil. More specifically, the aim from a participatory and consultative process is to provide support for the construction benefit sharing models for REDD+ programs, which actually promotes inclu- sion of these people, focusing on the Brazilian context.
