E/2026/43 E/C.19/2026/6 114. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendation at its twenty-third session regarding the enhanced participation of Indigenous Peoples at United Nations meetings on issues affecting them and continues to call upon Member States to financially support the Indigenous Coordinating Body for Enhanced Participation in the United Nations. It further recommends that discussions on enhanced participation in the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council always include both Indigenous Peoples and Member States. Furthermore, the Forum welcomes the appointment of two Indigenous advisers and advises future Presidents of the General Assembly to do the same. 115. The Permanent Forum urges United Nations entities and Member States, in their implementation of the outcome of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, namely the Sevilla Commitment, to ensure that the global financing for development framework guarantees the rights of Indigenous Peoples pursuant to the Declaration and ensures their meaningful, full and effective participation. 116. The Permanent Forum notes with concern the impact of the UN80 Initiative reform and budgetary constraints on the three main Indigenous-specific mechanisms of the United Nations and urges the Organization and its Member States to sufficiently resource these mechanisms, recognizing that each mandate has a distinct and complementary role in advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples. 117. The Permanent Forum calls upon Member States, multilateral environmental funds, international financial institutions and United Nations entities, including the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples, to provide adequate, sustained and predictable financial and technical assistance to support the enhanced participation of Indigenous Peoples at all levels, with dedicated allocations for Indigenous women and young people and Indigenous Peoples in remote locations. 118. The Permanent Forum calls upon Member States, United Nations entities and financing institutions to adapt financing frameworks to ensure the equitable inclusion of Indigenous Peoples across all seven sociocultural regions, including those in developed States, based on need and the disproportionate impact of climate change. 119. The Permanent Forum urges financing mechanisms to adopt an approach based on distinctions, without conflating Indigenous Peoples with local communities or other social groups, and to refrain from invoking the absence of national legal recognition to exclude Indigenous Peoples from the application of safeguards. 120. The Permanent Forum calls on multilateral environment funds and international financing institutions, by 2028, to expand and revise funding and eligibility criteria to ensure that Indigenous Peoples receive funding that is direct, dedicated, long -term, flexible, equitable, co-governed and aligned with the Declaration and self-determined priorities. 121. The Permanent Forum urges the Council of the Global Environment Facility to approve the aspirational funding target of 20%, and to allocate $100 million to the Indigenous Conservation Initiative in the Facility’s ninth replenishment cycle, to include “Indigenous and traditional territories” 4 in the results framework and to ensure distinction-based disbursement and tracking that support Indigenous Peoples’ rights. 122. The Permanent Forum urges development banks and international financial institutions to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples to determine their own identity or membership in relation to access to financing. They should also ensure that accountability and safeguarding mechanisms include an independent compliance __________________ 4 20/24 Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Target 3 (CBD/COP/15/L.25). 26-06676
