Under the wave of economic globalization and climate change, what kind of interaction exists between indigenous peoples, transnational investment, and green finance in the past, present, and future? In this lecture, we will start with case studies of transnational investment and economic globalization, examining the potential negative impacts of transnational economic activities on global indigenous communities, cultural values, and ecological environments, and exploring how to respond to transboundary economic, environmental, and human rights laws and regulations. What are the current situation and challenges? This is a conflict aspect that may arise between economic development and indigenous cultures. Secondly, in the latter part of this lecture, we will explore whether there is a possibility for positive convergence between indigenous peoples and current global actions to address climate change and promote green finance. Regarding this point, we will focus on the different discourses and expectations of indigenous representatives, government officials, and corporate representatives on green finance issues during the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2022.
