Call for Proposals: Global Data Study on Indigenous Peoples Climate Contributions

Deadline for Tender Responses: 15 May 2024

The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund is commissioning a global data study to draw together existing research around Indigenous Peoples climate contributions, across mitigation, adaptation, and resilience across the seven socio-cultural regions. The study will investigate the financing of those contributions, as well as challenges and opportunities for Indigenous Peoples to access finance.

This study will be used to support the objectives of the UAE Presidency of COP28 and the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP28 to push for greater recognition of Indigenous Peoples climate contributions and to provide information on how to better support Indigenous Peoples financially in their nature and climate stewardship. The aim of this project is to demonstrate to interlocutors and the wider global public that Indigenous Peoples play a vital role in climate protection and that financing them is a key to continue relying on their stewardship. The study shall endeavor to outline options to improve Indigenous Peoples access to finance by highlighting barriers and solutions for Indigenous Peoples access to finance.
