for accreditation be developed by indigenous peoples to be applied by a committee
that comprises representatives of States and indigenous peoples.
87. The Permanent Forum also recommends that the Economic and Social Council
and the Human Rights Council note the proposal to accredit indigenous peoples’
representative institutions as observers in the General Assembly and to co nsider
accreditation for indigenous peoples’ representative institutions to participate in
their meetings and meetings of their subsidiary bodies on issues affecting them.
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
88. The Permanent Forum, as an expert body of the Economic and Social Council,
regards the 2030 Agenda as a priority area and is committed to providing advice and
assistance to the Council and the United Nations system on the implementation of
the Agenda, including through active contributions and participation at the highlevel political forum on sustainable development.
89. The Permanent Forum recommends that the Inter-agency and Expert Group on
Sustainable Development Goal Indicators provide support for the inclusion and
methodological development of core indicators for indigenous peoples in the global
indicator framework, 3 in particular the inclusion of the indicator on the legal
recognition of the land rights of indigenous peoples for the targets under Goals 1
and 2.
90. The Permanent Forum recognizes the importance of data disaggregation, as
noted in target 17.18 of the 2030 Agenda, and in this regard, it is aware of the good
practices promoted by the Economic and Social Commission for Latin America and
the Caribbean (ECLAC). The Forum recommends that ECLAC, in cooperation with
UNFPA and others, redouble efforts to ensure data disaggregation for indigenous
peoples and promote the inclusion of complementary indicators on indigenous
peoples’ rights in Governments’ national reports for the Sustain able Development
Goals and the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development, adopted at
the Regional Conference on Population and Development in Latin America and the
Caribbean. The Forum further recommends that ECLAC provide a guidance note
and organize a mutual learning event, jointly with other regional commissions, in
order to share best practices of data disaggregation on the basis of indigenous
identifiers and self-identification, as used in the 2010 round of census in several
countries in Latin America.
91. The Permanent Forum emphasizes that the recognition, protection and
promotion of indigenous peoples’ rights to lands, territories and resources will make
a significant contribution to achieving not only Goals 1 and 2, but also all the
Sustainable Development Goals. In this regard, the Forum urges Governments to
take all measures necessary to protect indigenous peoples’ rights to their territories
and resources in the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
92. The Permanent Forum calls upon Governments to establish permanent, open
and inclusive mechanisms for consultation, participation and representation of
indigenous peoples in local, regional, national and international processes and
bodies relating to the Sustainable Development Goals. It also calls upon
Governments to allocate adequate resources towards implementation of plans that
include indigenous peoples, as well as to ensure data disaggregation on the basis of
indigenous identifiers.
93. The Permanent Forum recommends that relevant countries among the 44
countries undergoing voluntary national reviews at the high -level political forum in
