Indigenous Peoples & Sustainable Development
The guide addresses the question of how can we make sure that development initiatives are really sustainable and bring positive results for the well-being of indigenous communities. One of the best strategies we can use is to demand that all development initiatives respect our human rights. This guide is designed to help indigenous peoples understand what our rights are and what obligations the governments, agencies, and businesses that finance development projects have when they impact indigenous lands and communities.
