Transformative Technologies for Climate Action: Focusing on Indigenous technologies and technologies from local communities
An event in collaboration with Technology Executive Committee (TEC)
Background
The LCIPP Multi-stakeholder dialogues under the Activity 7 of the second three -year workplan falls under the climate change policies and action function of the LCIPP. It is mandated to “convene in-session multi-stakeholder dialogues, including Indigenous Peoples, local communities, Parties and other relevant bodies and processes, to advance the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in designing and implementing holistic climate change policies and actions at all levels”.
The engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, including ethical and equitable treatment of Indigenous knowledge, is a common thread linking together the multi-stakeholder dialogues. This activity contributes to a participatory approach to climate action, in line with Article 7 paragraph 5 of the Paris Agreement. It contributes to the Paris Agreement objective of promoting climate action that is “based on and guided by the best available science and, as appropriate, traditional knowledge, knowledge of Indigenous Peoples and local knowledge systems”.
Objectives
The objectives of the multi-stakeholder dialogue are:
- Support substantive exchanges focusing on the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in climate action design and implementation at all levels
- Facilitate the development of climate change policies and actions that promote a holistic approach based on the knowledge and practices of Indigenous Peoples as well as those of local communities
- Strengthen climate action based on the best available knowledge by promoting the ethical and equitable treatment of Indigenous knowledge in education, and research (in relation to Activity 3 of the 2022-2024 workplan), related to climate change
The theme of the LCIPP Multi stakeholder dialogue at COP 28 will be on Indigenous and traditional technologies, sciences, and innovations.
