WATER, CLIMATE AND UNCERTAINTY The Tribal Perspective 1. Indigenous Peoples in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change 2. Threats and impacts of an over-promised, diminishing water resource 3. Opportunities to harmonize tribal goals and climate stabilization UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE Eighth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties, New Delhi, India, 2002 “…a meeting which connected well with the most vulnerable stakeholders – the marginal farmer, the fisherman, the small livestock owner and others, including the indigenous communities.” -- T.R. Baalu, Minister of Environment and Forests of India Some topics of focus: Relationship between climate change and sustainable development Land use change and forestry; how to monitor and credit carbon sinks . . . continued Indigenous Peoples’ Caucus Demands as the 2002 Conference of the Parties (COP) * For the COP to approve the creation of a Working Group of Indigenous Peoples on Climate Change. * To include Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change as a regular agenda item on the agenda of the COP’s and Subsidiary Body meetings. * For UNFCCC mechanisms to incorporate principles addressing transparency, free, prior and informed consent and benefit sharing with Indigenous Peoples. * For Indigenous Peoples to be included as direct beneficiaries of the Adaptation Fund (including, e.g., projects providing compensation for adverse effects on their territories and communities).

Developers can pay mitigation to a qualified nonprofit which must use the funds for projects that avoid, sequester or displace the plant’s carbon dioxide.
