Important issues for SwedBio are the cross-cutting issues about strengthening the opportunities for peoples’ contribution to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, through a human rights-based approach, gender equality, youth and intergenerational equity. Indigenous peoples and local communities full and effective participation and their rights to resources and territories, in order to make it possible for them to contribute to biodiversity governance and protection and long-term sustainable development, are equally important.
