International Advocacy
Natural Justice works with a range of partners at the international level to develop international laws that support biocultural diversity. We work on:
- Biodiversity under the Convention on Biological Diversity, including access and benefit sharing, traditional knowledge and customary use, and protected areas,
- Climate Change under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, particularly adaptation and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation,
- Agriculture under the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture,
- Intellectual Property at the World Intellectual Property Organization, and
- Human Rights at the Experts Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
