Indigenous and tribal peoples: building on biological and cultural diversity for food and livelihood security
When the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were adopted in 2000, the international community made an unprecedented pledge to meet the needs of the world’s poor and to safeguard them against the threats of the twenty-first century.2 Leaders of 147 states reaffirmed the principles of poverty reduction, democratic governance, and human rights protection, which have been at the heart of the United Nations system since its creation after the Second World War. Today these principles demand renewed effort as the disparities between the world’s poorest and wealthiest are increasing, and poor people’s livelihoods are becoming evermore vulnerable to new socio-economic and environmental challenges.
