“…Diese globalen Machtunterschiede machen sich natürlich auch in den Ergebnissen der internationalen Klimaverhandlungen bemerkbar (Kenfack 2022) und zeigen sich ebenso auf subnationaler Ebene zwischen reichen und armen Bevölkerungsgruppen. Seine vielleicht größte Zuspitzung findet dies in der Situation indigener Bevölkerungsgruppen, deren historische Marginalisierung häufig zu einer Unterrepräsentation in (nationalen) Entscheidungspositionen führt, die sich somit auch in der mangelnden Beteiligung an internationalen Klimaverhandlungen widerspiegelt (Comberti et al 2019). Diese fehlende Teilhabe stellt nicht nur ein Gerechtigkeitsproblem dar, sondern sie führt auch dazu, dass die hohe kulturelle und Wissensvielfalt indigener Gruppen nicht berücksichtigt wird, die selbst eine wichtige Grundlage für Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen bildet (Comberti et al 2019, S. 15).…”

ZusammenfassungDie Zusammenhänge zwischen Klimawandel und Konflikten sind vielfältig und werden in Politik und Forschung zunehmend thematisiert. Die Verbindung von nachhaltigem Frieden und Klimagerechtigkeit ist hingegen wenig erforscht. Dieser Beitrag adressiert diese Lücke konzeptionell und zeigt auf, dass Zivile Konfliktbearbeitung wirksame Mittel zu Bewältigung der Klimakrise bereithält. Klimaschutz, Klimaanpassung und Konfliktbearbeitung müssen genauso wie Frieden, Umwelt und Entwicklung zusammengedacht werden, um sozial-ökologische Transformationen zu gestalten.

“…In the same way that geography limits the ability for Indigenous peoples and organizations to travel to events, and therefore can be both physically and culturally isolated from GEG processes, this barrier also limits opportunities for Indigenous peoples' representatives to build should be held responsible for supporting Indigenous participation through distribution of resources for translation, etc. Belfer et al, 2019;Comberti et al, 2019;Corntassel, 2007, Ford et al, 2016bPaulson et al, 2012;Shroeder, 2010 relationships with other governance actors from different spaces who may be able to offer further support and advocate for Indigenous participation in these meetings (Brugnach et al, 2017). In terms of meeting restrictions, the way in which many GEG meetings are organized (e.g., UNFCCC) result in both open and closed meetings which may require additional steps to be allowed into certain spaces.…”

“…In some cases, there are arguments that countries should also provide space for Indigenous peoples within those countries to be part of national delegations, however, there are diverse relationships between Indigenous peoples and national leadership; in most cases, few states endorse or support Indigenous peoples attending GEG negotiations (Corntassel, 2007;Maina, 2011). Some nations do not bring the voice of domestic Indigenous peoples to global negotiations (in fact, many do not) and this is directly related to histories and continued marginalization and discrimination by the same states even though they are often looked to as supposedly representing Indigenous peoples (Ayani, 2014;Comberti et al, 2019;Maina, 2011;Paulson et al, 2012). Without providing Indigenous peoples the adequate resources and support to facilitate conservation policies on Indigenous lands, it cannot be expected of these groups to take on the burden of global conservation challenges; it is therefore exceptionally important to promote 'bottom-up' approaches to conservation investment and policy design (Garnett et al, 2018).…”

“…The next critical theme that emerged from the systematic review was the need for various forms of networks among and between Indigenous peoples as well as other governance actors. This need for various types of networks or groups was mentioned in 50 of the 76 papers reviewed (e.g., Aguilar-Stoen, 2017;Belfer et al, 2019;Brosius, 2004;Chen & Gilmore, 2015;Comberti et al, 2019;Hill et al, 2020;Kuyper et al, 2017;Martello, 2008;Oviedo & Pyschkarsky, 2012;Vierros et al, 2020). Transnational organizing and coalitions between Indigenous peoples have opened up space for Indigenous peoples to influence both national, regional, and global agendas and has been identified as critical for developing further influence and agency in GEG decision-making with examples provided in the reviewed papers within UNFCCC and REDD regimes (Adeyeye et al, 2019;Aguilar-Stoen, 2017;Ciplet, 2014;Dawson et al, 2018;Denton, 2017;Doolittle, 2010;Shroeder, 2010;Wallbott, 2014).…”

Global environmental governance (GEG) forums, such as those convened through the United Nations, result in the development of monumental guiding frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Conference of Parties (COPs) Aichi and post-2020 targets. The ratification of policy frameworks by member and/or signatory states can result in major shifts in environmental policy and decision-making and has major implications for Indigenous communities. In this article, we present systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on Indigenous participation in GEG forums, and focus on the specific questions: (1) what GEG forums include Indigenous participation and (2) how do Indigenous peoples participate in GEG forums, including how their perspectives and knowledges are framed and/or included/excluded within governance discussions, decisions, and negotiations. We provide a bibliometric analysis of the articles and derive seven inductively determined themes from our review: (1) Critical governance forums and decisions; (2) inclusion and exclusion of Indigenous voices and knowledge in GEG forums; (3) capacity barriers; (4) knowledge hierarchies: inclusion, integration, and bridging; (5) representation and grouping of Indigenous peoples in GEG; (6) need for networks among and between Indigenous peoples and other governance actors; and (7) Indigenous peoples influence on GEG decisions and processes. Our findings can be used to improve GEG forums by contributing to the development strategies that address the barriers and inequities to meaningful and beneficial Indigenous participation and can contribute to future research that is focused on understanding the experiences of Indigenous peoples within GEG forums.

“…The occurrence of cultural negotiation depends on the process of adaptation of a person or a community to their environment (Chatterjee 2006;Comberti et al 2019;Thornton et al 2019). Furthermore, the adaptation process is affected by a broad sociocultural context.…”

Prolonged conflict on the southern Thailand border still continues, especially in four provinces – Pattani, Yala, Narathivat, and Satun. These four provinces are the home base of the Malay-Muslim community. However, conflicts have almost never occurred in the province of Phattalung, particularly in the region called ‘Two Religion Community Life’. This is because people can find solutions to every problem using cultural negotiation. This research aims to describe the results of cultural negotiation and social learning between Muslims and Buddhists in solving daily life problems. The most important data collection techniques are in-depth interviews and observations. There are five critical informants chosen purposively: Islamic and Buddhist religious leaders, community leaders, school principals, and community members in the Tamot and Khaocan regions. The results found that there are several forms of cultural negotiation in Phattalung, including annual ritual prayers conducted together by Muslims and Buddhists, agreement on how to slaughter animals to be served during ceremonies, tradition of food bartering, and agreement on animal caring. Furthermore, social learning to preserve the results of the negotiations is carried out through the establishment of voluntary medical groups whose members consist of young men and women from the Muslim and the Buddhist community, sports and arts activities, commemorations of national holidays, and conducting annual religious rituals at the same place and time. This study also found four important aspects to strengthen the social learning in multireligious society – moderate values derived from their respective religious teachings, moderate values taught by the country, the existence of trust among citizens, and win-win solutions to the emerging problems.Contribution: This research promotes the world that there is a heterogeneous religious community in the Phattalung province, Thailand which has a building construction of tolerance and harmony of locality namely the ‘Two Religion Community Life’ by preserving the cultural negotiation values through social learning.
