We Can’t Separate Territorial Rights From Ecosystem Integrity

• The Way Forward

• Recognition of the Land and Territorial Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a “Killer Criterion” for the achievement of Ecosystem Integrity

• Community-based landscape management must be at the center of INDCs

• Carbon cannot be separated from other Environmental Services such as Water and Biodiversity, all are integrated

• National and International support for Capacity Building for indigenous peoples-- with a priority on proficiency in the newest relevant technologies
