2023-12-03
During these consultations, the participants generally opined that the KMGBF are relatively progressive from the lens of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, with some of the 23 targets (such as Targets 1, 3, 5, 9, 19, 21, and 22) explicitly mentioning Indigenous Peoples’ rights. The four goals and other targets envisioned to be achieved by 2030 are also relevant to Indigenous Peoples. NEFIN and NIWF on behalf of the Indigenous Peoples of Nepal re-assert the following key rights concerns pertaining to respective KMGBF targets and hereby strongly recommend to the Nepal government to address them in the new NBSAP of Nepal.
