In the session Justice, Ethics & Social Perceptions of CDR 4 (day 3, 12:30pm), I will be presenting an ongoing scenario assessment of land-intensive CDR on Indigenous lands.
Forestation or BECCS can have adverse impacts on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, especially if implemented at large scales.
Understanding potential implications of land-intensive CDR deployment on Indigenous lands is crucial to enable just climate action. Such understanding is also a prerequisite for free, prior, and informed consent, when it comes to potential future land-use changes affecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Assessing existing IAM scenarios can be an entry point to explore potential implications of land-intensive CDR on Indigenous lands.
