Comments on: How the World Bank explains REDD to Indigenous Peoples http://www.redd-monitor.org/2009/05/18/how-the-world-bank-explains-redd-to-indigenous-peoples/ news, views and analysis about reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:47:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Francesco Martone http://www.redd-monitor.org/2009/05/18/how-the-world-bank-explains-redd-to-indigenous-peoples/#comment-2641 Francesco Martone Tue, 19 May 2009 14:35:07 +0000 http://www.redd-monitor.org/?p=1987#comment-2641 Thanks Chris. Having been in Anchorage to represent Forest Peoples Programme, I can also add that he Bank started their presentation, before Bosquet's , by refering to the recommendations of the Extractive Industries Review and the World Commission on Dams stating that since then the Banmk has learned to do things well.. (sic! and how about FPIC, compensation for damage to resettled communities, reduction of GHG emissions conneced to its portfolio?). Additionally Bosquet explained how the Bank is dealing with UNDRIP. he said the Bank in fact acknowledges that a majority of the countries of the UNGA adopted UNDRIP and that the Bank Management is undergoing a reveiw of the implementation of OP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples (1993-2009) and will bring the matter of UNDRIP and alignment of WB guidelines to the Board next fall....However, given the dynamics of the Board and the fact the majority votes are in the hands of governments of states that have not adopted UNDRIP (i.e. the US) this might turn out to be an academic excercise. The Bank also came to Anchorage to publicise its small grants for adaptation, that this time have a subsection for Indigenous Peoples www.developmentmarketplace.org Francesco Martone Thanks Chris.
