A/HRC/36/46 123. Funds and donors should: (a) Respect and support the rights of indigenous peoples as recognized in international human rights law and enhance their ability to engage in climate change activities by advocating for recognition of their collective and individual rights; (b) Implement existing policies and safeguards and ensure their effective dissemination as well as trainings for staff, especially for those involved in implementation at the regional and national levels; (c) Develop more dedicated direct funding mechanisms to support indigenous peoples’ own initiatives for climate change and sustainable development; (d) Support indigenous peoples to develop and implement their own initiatives and exchange experiences with them. This will allow learning from traditional indigenous measures and transfer of technical skills to engage indigenous peoples in climate change management; (e) As part of due diligence, improve monitoring and include compliance with indigenous peoples’ rights in regular project, programme and policy assessments; (f) Promote awareness of grievance mechanisms for indigenous peoples in the context of climate change projects and ensure that such mechanisms are culturally appropriate. 22
