WHY ARE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES LEFT BEHIND IN THE SDGS MOVEMENT?

Many indigenous groups are facing land confiscation and invasion, thus weakening their ability to manage natural resources sustainably and maintain their cultural practices this makes Indigenous communities struggle to achieve economic sustainability and environmental conservation, thereby hindering progress towards many of the SDG goals. Poor representation of indigenous voices in decision-making processes at local, national and international levels contributes to their exclusion from the SDGs agenda and so without their full involvement, the SDGs risk perpetuating disparities and failing to address the specific challenges faced by indigenous communities. <a href="https://mrgeorgeedmund.medium.com/why-are-indigenous-communities-left-behind-in-the-sdgs-movements-7a16b212b45a">Learn More</a>
