“This is an unprecedented step toward greater environmental democracy within the United Nations.” The words of Irene Vélez Torres (Colombia), Co-Chair of the inaugural meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Article 8(j) and Other Provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Related to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) (SB8j) marked the celebratory environment that characterized the proceedings of the meeting. Many participants emphasized that SB8j’s establishment is not merely symbolic but paves the way for inclusive environmental governance. As CBD Executive Secretary Astrid Schomaker underscored, to achieve this goal, much more needs to be done: “This is only the beginning of the journey, we still have mountains to climb to make the full promise of SB8j a reality for our Convention.”
