CNAI National Indigenous Environment Commission
In Colombia, state environmental policy is organized around three systems: the National Environmental System (SINA), the National Protected Areas System (SINAP) and the National Climate Change System (SISPLIMA). While these frameworks incorporate some recognition of ethnic diversity and indigenous participation, they are not sufficient to ensure the full exercise of indigenous peoples' autonomy, environmental authority and government over their territories and territories.
In the face of this gap, the Indigenous Environmental Policy has been established since the Law of Origin, the self-determination and ancestral order of the territory, to: (i) strengthen the exercise of authority and the indigenous environmental system (iii) articulate—in terms of intercultural governance—indigenous decisions with national systems and instruments (SINA, SINAP and SISCLIMA), without replacing or subordinating their own authority.
A policy built since the Law of Origin.
