For example, last year Montana did an assessment of the State\u2019s financial system &#8211; <em>Access to Finance in Montana<\/em>. Although 62% of Montana land is used for agriculture, and water demands are increasing due to uncertain precipitation patterns, higher temperatures, and longer growing seasons not a single prediction of higher business risk or unanticipated market changes was mentioned. Yet these weather changes will increase the risk individual ranchers and the agriculture industry face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The erratic weather patterns and uncertainty of our water supply coupled with an unprecedented growing demand for water raises the potential for new kinds of risk and higher volatility. There is frequent debate as to whether ESG ratings tell us anything meaningful but while there is significant qualitative data there is very little if any quantitative evidence. More empirical evidence and quantitative data should become part of the debate. Better risk-based analytics such as the database on climate patterns and risk matrices maintained by the insurance industry (especially in Europe) include empirical evidence on risks regarding water, the environment and now conflict and famine. The four hard truths in today\u2019s financial landscape suggest correlated risk and expanded quantification of costs should be part of the risk framework.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SmzOtnOOgXs?si=0xE5XImolYrzMNP9\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">ENOUGHNESS The Prequel: Indigenous Economies have \u201cvalues added\u201d. Today\u2019s economy values hoarding, greed and consumption. Using Indigenous values of sharing, cooperation and fairness with the millennial old design principles of indigenous economies see how we can transform today\u2019s finance system to meet the most needs of the most people and provide a sustainable path for our future.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Indigenous People rights and water have been historically under addressed by investors. Due diligence for Water investments is classified as an environmental risk. However, Water and community is just as much of a social risk especially when the rights of Indigenous People are considered.<\/h2>\n<p>For example, for years Montana\u2019s water future was tied to over 10,000 outstanding tribal water rights claims. The intensity of mounting demands for water led to the largest tribal water settlement in history. Last year. $1.9 billion was awarded to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe. Throughout the Southwest and much of the Western region water use and access is subject to Tribal rights. Globally 50% of all inland waters are located on Indigenous Peoples\u2019 territory which like US tribal rights, Indigenous waters are protected by legal frameworks that range from national to international such ILO Treaty 169, the Bio-Diversity Convention and UNDRIP. Indigenous People have the right to Free Prior Informed Consent for any operations taking place on their lands and territories.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to 50% of the world\u2019s inland waters Indigenous Peoples territories encompass at least 30% of the earth\u2019s land surface and if Indigenous Customary Rights are recognized it totals 50% of the land. Currently conservationists have designated 15% of the remaining wilderness as Protected Areas of which over half are located within Indigenous lands. In fact, 80 % of the planet\u2019s remaining biodiversity is within Indigenous territories along with 40% of the terrestrial areas, 33% of the Intact Forest Landscapes and 70% of Tropical Forests. Climate financing, which is 61% debt and 33% equity for a total $632 bn. faces potential high risk in ecoservice investing when you consider 56% of Above Ground Carbon Stock and 50% inland waters are represented. Indigenous Rights can materially impact investor risk, credit events and company operations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visibility-wrapper-970-to-300\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1652553476095-0\"><script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1652553476095-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0\" class=\"ad-float-left\"><script>\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053269469-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A recent study by Wharton\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/334197199_ESG_Material_Credit_Events_and_Credit_Risk\"><em>ESG Material Credit Events &amp; Credit Risk<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em>\u00a0found that projects operating on Indigenous lands or within a 10km distance had as high as 500% higher material events than those operating farther away. Additionally, it was found that the individual projects of companies with poor or low capacity to manage Indigenous risk incurred 3 to 66 times higher risk. Yet research found no evidence for the 1,444 projects in the study factored this potentially 500% higher credit risk into credit ratings, risk mitigation, or the cost of capital.<\/p>\n<p>As illustrated above, in contrast to the conventional idea that Indigenous conflict is primarily with the extractive sector, it now includes natural resources ecoservices, new transition minerals, and clean energy. In January 2024, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scat-nsn.gov\/\">San Carlos Apache Tribe<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tonation-nsn.gov\/\">Tohono O\u2019odham Nation<\/a>\u00a0filed a complaint against the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/\">Department of the Interior<\/a>\u00a0for failing to consult them about the Energy Pattern\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/patternenergy.com\/projects\/sunzia\/\">SunZia Southwest Transmission Project<\/a>.

The potential is for conflict to increase given in the current decoupling or de-risking of the US-China supply chain as low to middle income countries are brought into the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>From 2012 through 2016, I consulted on Social Performance with one of the largest corporations in the world achieving reputation accolades, mitigation of protests, resumption of project operations, and de-risking a potential joint venture\u2019s exposure to human rights violations. Because the Company lacked an internal audit system to track and quantify its Social costs and benefits all the data remained qualitative.
