a. The expansion of and new exploration for the extraction of oil, natural gas and uranium and coal mining within or near indigenous lands and territories, especially in pristine areas and environmentally, socially, culturally and historically sensitive areas.
b. The construction of large dams. Governments and multilateral institutions should utilize the framework proposed by the World Commission on Dams for an approach to development based on the recognition of rights and the assessment of risk.
c. New nuclear power plants. We call for a phase-out and decommission of all nuclear power plants.
d. The transportation and storage of radioactive waste on indigenous peoples’ lands and territories. We firmly support the containment and monitoring of waste on-site for the duration of its radioactive life.
