PRISMA and the indigenous organization of Panama, COONAPIP, influenced the UN-REDD Program to recognize the importance of respecting the right of Indigenous Peoples to Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for all planned REDD activities in their territories. This intervention has enabled COONAPIP to advocate their agendas in key global fora, such as the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples, the Global Preparatory Indigenous Peoples Conference for the World Conference of Indigenous People. This international campaign spurred the UN to conduct its own independent investigation on what changes need to be made in the REDD process.
