E/2021/43 E/C.19/2021/10 and food insecurity, violence against indigenous women and girls, and limited access to justice. 38. The concept of building back better also implies opportunities to recognize and value the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples in safeguarding and conserving the environment, actions which can significantly advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It also implies addressing the lack of educational infrastructure, digital literacy and culturally appropriate education. It also requires the involvement of indigenous youth as they will inherit the responsibility to protect and preserve indigenous peoples’ traditional knowledge and preserve their traditional lands, resources and sacred sites upon which their cultural heritage and identity are based. Furthermore, indigenous women, as guardians of their traditional and gender specific knowledge, must participate adequately in land ownership and governance at all levels. 39. The Permanent Forum reiterates its call to Member States to redouble their efforts to ensure disaggregated data collection on indigenous peoples (in accordance with target 17.10) and to include complementary indicators on indigenous peoples in voluntary national reports submitted by Governments for meetings of the high-level political forum on sustainable development. Data disaggregated by ethnicity will help Governments to make informed decisions in a culturally appropriate way in response to the specific needs of indigenous peoples. The Forum underlines the importance of applying a human rights-based approach to data collection, including on ethnicity. 40. The Permanent Forum recommends that the United Nations and United Nations system organizations ensure the effective participation of indigenous peoples at the Food Systems Summit in 2021, as well as at all the related processes conducted in advance thereof and thereafter, including the pre-summit to be held in Italy from 19 to 21 July 2021. The food systems of indigenous peoples support sustainability and care for the environment and generate healthy foods important for the eradication of hunger and the achievement of the Goals. 41. The Permanent Forum calls on Member States and international institutions to engage in full cooperation with indigenous peoples in their COVID -19 recovery efforts. The Forum further recommends that all available means of assistance, including financial support by international and national donor agencies and private philanthropic institutions, be allocated to initiatives led by indigenous peoples towards the achievement of the Goals. Follow-up to the outcome document of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples 42. Implementation of the outcome document of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, as set out in General Assembly resolution 69/2 and the Alta outcome document, is crucial for both meeting the aspirations of indigenous peoples worldwide and for ensuring that their rights and interests are guaranteed in decisionmaking processes. Further efforts should be made to reach the goal of enhancing the participation of indigenous peoples in the work of the United Nations from a system wide perspective and in relation to various United Nations bodies and organs. 43. States Members of the United Nations and indigenous peoples must continue their constructive dialogue under the auspices of the President of the General Assembly, within the framework of the relevant decisions of the G eneral Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Human Rights Council. It is also important to continue to make use of and explore ways to improve the opportunities provided through the existing formats and modalities of the Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Human Rights Council and various entities of the United Nations system. 21-06102 11/29
