On 18 November 2024, COP 29 welcomed the Baku Workplan of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform. The workplan has six collective approaches: 1) Gathering of Knowledge Holders; 2) Regional Engagement; 3) Seventh-Generation Round Table; 4) Collaboration with constituted bodies and workstreams of the UNFCCC; 5) Enhanced engagement with Parties; and 6) Overall Strategic Planning.

The Facilitative Working Group (FWG) of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) proposed the second three-year workplan for the period of 2022-2024. It was subsequently welcomed by Parties at COP 26 in Glasgow in November 2021. 

The workplan activities are grouped according to the three functions of the platform (see decision 2/CP.23). These functions related to (i) knowledge, (ii) capacity for engagement, and (iii) climate change policies and actions. The workplan includes two activities which support the platform functions in a cross-cutting way. 

The workplan activities are intended to have positive multi-level impacts at all levels. The LCIPP second three-year workplan 2022-2024 facilitates the continued collaboration among Parties and indigenous peoples and local communities on addressing and responding to climate change (decision 16/CP.26). The exchanges of experience and approaches to managing all ecosystems are key to enhancing national climate policy and helping achieve the objectives of the Convention and the Paris Agreement.
