Question about IPv6, NAT, firewall, port forwarding, upnp and security

In the next months/years my ISP might give me IPv6 for my home connection. But what are the security implications? Will local network servers/embedded devices be accessible from the whole internet? … When my ISP switches me to IPv6 are those accessible from the internet/do I need to create firewall rules on my home router (similar to port forwarding)/will there be something like UPnP for programms …
