5 actions to facilitate the social inclusion of indigenous displaced people

Indigenous peoples occupy only 15% of the world's territory, but protect 80% of the remaining biodiversity on the planet, according to World Bank data. As with other populations, the actions of indigenous communities are those that least affect nature, but they are among the groups that suffer most strongly the consequences of climate change.

In indigenous populations, the effects of these changes are reflected in the vulnerability of their ecosystems, [...] and in the loss of territories, as Oxfam indicates [...]. In addition to climate change, and despite their organization and resistance, indigenous populations have also historically been displaced by the colonization of other cultures.

[...] To facilitate the inclusion of displaced indigenous populations, host communities can carry out multiple actions:

- Recognize their traditional skills.

- Prioritize local and family purchases

- Respect the collective dimension of their culture.

- Sensitize to the lack of identification documents.

- Procure alternative means of communication and openness to other languages.
