Brief

The following recommendations are included in the brief:

• Promote joint governance with Indigenous Peoples: Establish a transparent process of shared decision-making and co-create sustainable jobs programmes.
• Uphold Indigenous definitions of “sustainable jobs”: Ensure flexibility in creating jobs that offer balance with Indigenous Peoples’ seasonal land-based practices, and recognise disparities in access to basic necessities among Indigenous communities.
• Ensure Indigenous equity: Endorse Indigenous clean energy entrepreneurship and businesses through flexible and long-term funding, and support access to updated information on sustainable jobs and renewable energy project creation.
• Expand support for capacity building in the Indigenous workforce: Ensure access to training programmes and education, set up a healthy working environment, provide Indigenous youth with professional mentorship, and eliminate barriers in employment by including wrap-around support.
