Indigenous Rights Risk in the Energy Transition: Mining, Supply Chains & End-User Considerations
November听16, 2023

The transition to a low carbon economy through new and expanded uses of technologies requires minerals and other resources often found in traditional Indigenous lands and waters. According to one study, over half of global renewable energy mining projects are located on or near Indigenous Peoples' territories.

This webinar spotlights Indigenous leaders from several global regions to share their stories and solutions towards safeguarding their communities from the impacts of transition mineral and clean energy projects. In addition, advocates discuss how investors can scope for and address Indigenous Rights Risk and work to ensure safe and equitable mining operations, supply chains and end-user manufacturing 鈥撎齣ncluding automakers, big tech, and renewable energy producers. From how impacted Indigenous Peoples are securing their rights and priorities to where Indigenous Peoples are participating in project development, presenters give guidance for navigating risks and opportunities to protect both long-term shareholder value and the rights and cultures of Indigenous Peoples in the clean energy economy.

Investor Roundtable 鈥� Indigenous-Defined FPIC: Best Practices for Investment and Corporate Governance
June 15, 2023

Since the right of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) was enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples two decades ago, Indigenous Peoples across the world have codified and expanded FPIC as a spectrum to further self-determination. Companies across sectors, however, still lag on operationalizing basic FPIC principles where there are impacts on Indigenous Peoples鈥� rights, territories and communities.
听

• What are the core values and protocols Indigenous Peoples require in FPIC policy?
• How do companies navigate situations where two or more Indigenous communities don鈥檛 align on one course of action?
• How can shareholders help move the extractive industry and financial institutions to fully integrate Indigenous Rights Risk screening and FPIC due diligence?
• How can we create iterative FPIC processes, especially for projects that span generations?

听
This virtual working session spotlights a range of Indigenous and investment expertise to parse common questions about FPIC and its integration into corporate practice. Through discussion, resource sharing and breakout sessions, participants will gain a better understanding of Indigenous-defined FPIC requirements and how to forward Indigenous Peoples鈥� self-determined priorities through sustainable finance and impact investment.听

Indigenous Peoples, Biodiversity and Sustainable Finance
November 17, 2022

Indigenous Peoples鈥� traditional knowledge and stewardship contributes significantly to both conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. In fact, Indigenous Peoples protect 80 percent of the Earth鈥檚 remaining biodiversity though only occupy an estimated 20 percent of the Earth's land mass. When Indigenous Peoples鈥� territories, communities, rights and wellbeing are at risk, so is global biodiversity.

Ahead of the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15), experts working to advance biodiversity at the intersection of Indigenous Peoples鈥� rights and traditional ecological knowledge will equip financial sector participants with a better understanding of the priorities of Indigenous leaders in biodiversity protection and stewardship.听

Investor Briefing: Elevating Indigenous Rights in ESG Disclosures
September 16, 2021

Growing concern about material risk from climate change is leading to reevaluation and reconceptualization of environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards across industries. Recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) invited public comment on a potential rule for climate risk disclosure. One critical consideration in ESG risk assessment that is too often overlooked is violation of Indigenous Peoples鈥� human rights and land rights where businesses operate either domestically or internationally.

In this investor briefing, experts examined key recommendations in a letter to the SEC submitted by 22 environmental and Indigenous rights organizations, which addressed the multiple considerations when assessing impacts on Indigenous Peoples within ESG and climate disclosures. The panel also parsed critical issues raised in the letter, such as: Indigenous and tribal peoples鈥� land rights and its centrality to environmental and climate protection, overlap of Indigenous rights with all three pieces of the ESG landscape, and business risk when disregarding protections Indigenous Peoples enjoy under international law (legal, political, reputational, and operational).听
