Abstract
This is the first global empirical study that specifically explores the perspectives of Indigenous peoples, people working for Indigenous Peoples’ Organisations (IPOs) and people working in other relevant roles (e.g., conveners of large environmental NGOs) on the barriers to meaningful and effective participation in global environmental governance forums. A total of 30 key informant participants were interviewed for this study. Participants were invited based on their engagement with and/or their interest in Indigenous participation and leadership related to environmental governance. Inductive analysis of the interview data revealed that ‘capacity barriers’, ‘representation, grouping and disconnect’, ‘inclusion and exclusion’, and ‘insights for how to proceed in the future’ to be important primary themes for discussion. Secondary themes were also determined for each primary theme to highlight the key issues and to develop implications and recommendations for enhancing meaningful Indigenous leadership and collaboration in international governance forums.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
