ILK dialogue workshop for the second order draft of the assessment on values
An ILK dialogue workshop was organized 16-19 February 2021 to facilitate the participation of IPLCs in the reviews of the draft summary for policymakers (SPM) and second order draft of the values assessment. It was held online due to Covid 19.
Introduction
The participation of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) is essential to the process of developing the IPBES methodological assessment on diverse conceptualizations of multiple values of nature (the "values assessment”), as the global diversity of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) systems encompass a wide array of relationships, perceptions and values relating to nature. The values assessment is ultimately intended as a resource for policymakers and other stakeholders engaged in valuation of nature, and attention to ILK is therefore crucial if IPLC values are to be considered effectively within these processes.
Aims of the dialogue
The aim of the dialogue workshop is to engage IPLCs in critically reviewing the draft SPM and assessment chapters, with a focus on SPM key messages. These reviews will provide feedback to authors regarding strengths, gaps and additional sources of information. The results of the dialogue will be entered into the review process of the assessment, for the attention of the author teams as they further develop the SPM and the assessment chapters.
Additional aims include sharing information about IPLC values between IPLC participants and assessment authors, and exploring how the final values assessment could be utilized by IPLCs.
Participants
ILK holders or ILK experts from Indigenous and local communities.
Co-chairs and authors from the values assessment.
