INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ PLAN OF IMPLEMENTATION ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Johannesburg, South Africa, 2002

Introduction

We, the representatives of Indigenous Peoples attending the World Summit on Sustainable Development, have defined this Plan of Implementation for the next decade, based on the Kimberley Declaration, as part of our contribution for achieving human and environmental sustainability in the world.

The Plan of Implementation reflects the heart and mind of Indigenous Peoples as traditional caretakers of Mother Earth who, for many millennia, have developed and refined our sustainable societies.
