Abstract:
The inclusion of explanations related to indigenous peoples (ip s) in Nationally
Determined Contributions (ndc s) contributes to amplifying the harmony between climate change (cc) and the rights of ip s. The existence of ip s in ndc s explains and improves the position of ip s in their own states, and serves as a model for other parties to the Paris Agreement (pa). Nonetheless, not all parties to the pa mention and have the same standards in explaining the rights of ip s in their ndc s. There are different standards on whether or not the rights of ip s are included in ndc s, and there is also a disparity in the quality and quantity of explanations of the rights of ip s in ndc s. These differences occur in the ‘engagement form’ of Annex i of Decision 4/cma.1 or elsewhere in ndc s.
