| contents | The rights of indigenous peoples in Asia: human rights-based overview of national legal and policy frameworks against the backdrop of country strategies for development and poverty reduction Stefania Errico Two thirds of the world’s indigenous peoples are estimated to live in Asia, in other words approximately 260 million people representing 2,000 distinct civilizations and languages. The situation of these people shows important commonalities and consequent similar challenges concerning their persisting marginalization, which has cultural, social, economic and political dimensions. The fact that indigenous peoples continue to be among the poorest of the poor, even though sustained growth and poverty reductions efforts of the region have significantly contributed to declining poverty rates, is a stark reminder of the unique challenges faced by indigenous women and men. This study aims to inform efforts mounted for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change, while highlighting the key relevance of rights-based approaches in ensuring that indigenous peoples are not left behind and can play their role as change agents.
