Advancing meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in the UNFCCC Process
The Facilitative Working Group (FWG of the LCIPP) warmly invites you to a virtual LCIPP training workshop and an informal contributors’ briefing.
The virtual training workshop is the fifth module in a series of trainings being implemented as part of the LCIPP workplan 2022-2024. It aims to strengthen the active participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, including youth and women, in the UNFCCC process and their role in climate policymaking.
