Indigenous Affairs 1-2/09 - REDD and Indigenous Peoples In September 2009, IWGIA published an issue of Indigenous Affairs focusing on indigenous peoples' engagement with the climate change mitigation forest conversation programme known as REDD (short for 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation'). The articles in this volume contribute to the debate about REDD and indigenous peoples by presenting some of the experiences indigenous peoples have had with the early stages of development of national REDD programmes. The articles challenge the rationale behind the non-acceptance of indigenous-controlled forest management within the framework of REDD, and contextualize the REDD debate with a view to providing some examples of important lessons learnt in existing indigenous-controlled forest management systems. It contains articles concerning Africa, Asia and Central America. The issue is edited by Sille Stidsen.		Download the whole issue as a PDF file or order through: iwgia@iwgia.org (EUR 7.00 + postage)
