Examining Indigenous Engagement in the Formulation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs): A Comparative Study of Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia

<p>This study assesses the extent to which indigenous peoples have been included in the National Determined Contributions (NDCs) of four Latin American countries: Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. By examining the consequences of their exclusion, the study highlights the political marginalization of indigenous peoples. In addition, the study explores avenues for voicing indigenous concerns through regional organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (ICHR). By identifying lessons for Latin American states and advocating for regional cooperation, the research aims to strengthen the position of indigenous peoples in international climate negotiations and contribute to broader discussions on social and environmental justice.</p>
