07 August 2020 to 21 October 2021
ADB's Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department (SDCC) launched a Webinar Series on Indigenous Peoples’ issues.

The learning objectives of these webinars are to build awareness and understanding on the following linkages and themes:
- Indigenous Peoples' perception and priorities in development processes
- Indigenous Peoples' health and the COVID-19 pandemic
- Indigenous Peoples' inclusion and Sustainable Development Goals
- Indigenous Peoples and the environment – need for synergy
- Indigenous Peoples and climate change challenges
- Gender and development
- Indigenous Peoples' conflict and fragile situations and forced migration
The Series also had four webinars specific to Indigenous Peoples' safeguards:
