The Convention on Biological Diversity is defining the goals that will frame future global biodiversity policy in a context of rapid biodiversity decline and under pressure to make transformative change. Drawing on the work of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, we argue that transformative change requires the foregrounding of Indigenous peoples' and local communities' rights and agency in biodiversity policy. We support this argument with four key points. First, Indigenous peoples and local communities hold knowledge essential for setting realistic and effective biodiversity targets that simultaneously improve local livelihoods. Second, Indigenous peoples' conceptualizations of nature sustain and manifest CBD's 2050 vision of "Living in harmony with nature." Third, Indigenous peoples' and local communities' participation in biodiversity policy contributes to the recognition of human and Indigenous peoples' rights. And fourth, engagement in biodiversity policy is essential for Indigenous peoples and local communities to be able to exercise their recognized rights to territories and resources.

在 2020 年后生物多样性议程中承认土著人民和当地社区的权利和机构。

《生物多样性公约》正在确定目标，这些目标将在生物多样性迅速下降和面临变革压力的情况下制定未来的全球生物多样性政策。借鉴土著和非土著学者的工作，我们认为转型变革需要将土著人民和当地社区的权利和机构置于生物多样性政策的前沿。我们以四个关键点支持这一论点。首先，土著人民和当地社区掌握了制定现实有效的生物多样性目标、同时改善当地生计所必需的知识。其次，原住民对自然的概念化支撑和体现了CBD 2050年“与自然和谐相处”的愿景。三、原住民和当地社区 参与生物多样性政策有助于承认人类和土著人民的权利。第四，参与生物多样性政策对于土著人民和当地社区能够行使其对领土和资源的公认权利至关重要。
