E/2019/43 E/C.19/2019/10 academia and other stakeholders undertake similar initiatives to raise awareness on the challenges facing indigenous young people. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 58. The 2030 Agenda is now in its fourth year of implementation, yet few countries refer to indigenous peoples in their voluntary national reviews. The Permanent Forum therefore urges countries undertaking voluntary national reviews at the high-level political forum on sustainable development to include indigenous peoples under all Sustainable Development Goals. 59. The Permanent Forum expresses concern that indigenous peoples are not receiving adequate information regarding the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at the national level and encourages Governments, United Nations entities, indigenous peoples and civil society organizations to convene workshops and other forums to ensure their effective participation in implementing the 2030 Agenda. 60. The Permanent Forum recommends that the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly ensure the meaningful participation of indigenous peoples and the Forum at the meetings of the 2019 high-level political forum on sustainable development, to be convened under the auspices of the Council and the Assembly in July and September 2019, respectively. The Forum stresses that the contributions of indigenous peoples to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda should be adequately reflected in the outcome document of the high-level political forums convened under the auspices of the Council and of the Assembly. 61. The Permanent Forum reiterates the importance of data collection and disaggregation for tracking progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to ensure that indigenous peoples, who often trail the general population on development indicators, are not left behind. 62. The Permanent Forum welcomes the study entitled “Free, prior and informed consent: a human rights-based approach” (A/HRC/39/62), prepared by the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It encourages Member States, United Nations entities, including the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Bank, regional development banks, the private sector, civil society organizations and other stakeholders, to use the study as guidance for understanding the principle of free, prior and informed consent when working on issues of concern to indigenous peoples. The Forum also encourages indigenous peoples to use the study to guide the development of their own community protocols on free, prior and informed consent for engaging with these stakeholders. 63. The Permanent Forum acknowledges the establishment by the World Bank of an inclusive forum for indigenous peoples to strengthen the Bank’s engagement with indigenous peoples, which should assist the Bank in implementing a human rights based approach to development. The Forum also calls upon the Bank, in collaboration with indigenous peoples, to develop detailed guidance on the proper implementation, review and monitoring of processes on free, prior and informed consent and to ensure that its projects protect and enhance customary land tenure systems in the implementation of Environmental and Social Standard 7 and the Environmental and Social Framework approved by the World Bank in 2016.
