        Summary

International policies and laws on biodiversity conservation, access and 
benefit sharing, and related issues, provide principles and guidance, 
but the involvement of Indigenous peoples and local communities in their 
conceptualisation and development is often limited. This means that even 
well-intentioned global laws might not benefit these groups, and could 
even work against their interests.

A central principle to guide policy development is to allow space for 
locally-led governance and cultural systems to operate freely - in ways 
that benefit Indigenous peoples and local communities and promote 
sustainability. This may well be the most effective approach to 
translate broad global ideals and principles into practice.

Indigenous peoples and local communities around the world have worked to 
do just this – with ABS and TK laws, UNDRIP, and other global measures. 
There is much that can be learned from their experiences.

This webinar will explore examples from India, Peru (ABS, IK Law, and 
UNDRIP) and New Zealand/Aotearoa (TK law and UNDRIP), and South Africa 
(World Heritage Convention and the CBD), also examining some of the 
challenges that emerge from the interface of the global and local 
elsewhere in the world. It will also stimulate conversations about how 
the voices of Indigenous peoples and local communities can be more 
effectively conveyed to global policy arenas, and the relationship 
between customary and statutory approaches to biodiversity use and 
conservation.

The webinar will run for 1 hour 30 minutes, including an opportunity for 
questions and answers to the panel.
