1. | The 9th eBKF in 2022 was a hybrid event held in Bario, Sarawak, combining virtual and physical participation. This approach aims to make it easier for participants from abroad and those unable to travel to join while also involving local communities and indigenous peoples (LCIPs) in the region, seen as crucial for its success. The theme for eBKF9 is "Climate Change, Sustainable Biodiversity, and Indigenous Knowledge on the island of Borneo," aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) #13 and #15. The event reflects a shift towards recognizing indigenous knowledge in global environmental governance forums, acknowledging the wisdom developed by societies with deep connections to their natural environment. | |||||||||||||
