Describe the results/achievements of the activities
-Member Indigenous Peoples Organisations (which now total 17) met in early March 2018 to define a self-determined strategy on how to advance indigenous issues within IUCN and in conservation . This was supported by CEESP and the Global Programme on Governance and Rights and will be essential in guiding further work on this Resolution.
-Council requested CEESP Chair to report and track how IUCN affirms the roles of indigenous peoples in global conservation efforts. There will be a report in the Council PPC at each Council meeting
-CI and IUCN are engaged with the Dedicated Grant Mechanism for IPLCs and this mechanism demonstrates and highlights the roles of IPLC in Climate Mitigation efforts and how they support their NDC. The DGM and the contribution of IPLC in the NDC were highlighted at the IUCN Pavilion at the UNFCCC in Bonn in November.
-Indigenous issues featured at the ICOMOS 19th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium.
In Hawai`i, Members provided related information, including:
- HCA in Hawai`i is active in a number of capacity building initiatives around the themes of this Resolution. They will also host a Hawai`i Conservation Conference July 24-26th
-HCA also continues to leverage local, regional, national, international and global support for the Hawaii Commitments and this Resolution in its goal of sharing the Hawai`i experience as a globally recognized model of effective biocultural conservation.
-Polynesian Voyaging Society completed a circumnavigation of the globe on a traditional voyaging canoe. This took three years and they engaged with indigenous communities on all continents except Antarctica and shared messages on blending traditional and modern approaches to build a sustainable future.
-In terms of policy, as described in Progress Report on 6.065, the State of Hawai`i Department of Land and Resources has been working with indigenous communities on co-governance of fisheries based on customary and traditional practices. The state passed its first full Community-based subsistence fishing area (CBSFA) designation and rule package for Hāʻena District of the Island of Kauaʻi. Currently, there is a draft CBSFA proposal for Moʻomomi Coast, Island of Molokaʻi awaiting decisions at the state level.
