Ancestral Domains, Indigenous Governance and Just Energy Transition

This presentation examines the roles of NCIP, Indigenous governance, ancestral domains, and Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices in achieving a just energy transition. It explains why renewable energy and transition-mineral projects must uphold genuine FPIC, customary decision-making, biodiversity protection, equitable benefits, and accessible remedies. It also presents practical standards and recommendations for moving beyond procedural compliance toward an Indigenous-led energy transition grounded in self-determination and accountability.
