Collective Approach 3 (CA3) under the Baku Workplan of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) focuses on uplifting the voices of Indigenous youth and youth from local communities in the UNFCCC process and thus supporting intergenerational and global commitments to address climate change and restore the integrity of nature. 

CA3 advances intergenerational dialogue and consideration by grounding the work in the seventh-generation principle towards shaping long-horizon thinking in climate action and the UNFCCC process.

In preparation for COP 30, the FWG will convene virtual meetings with Indigenous youth and youth from local communities to co-shape the agenda for the first ever LCIPP Annual Seventh-Generation Round Table. These dialogues will ensure that the priorities of youth and future generations are reflected in global climate policy discussions, and that global climate actions benefit all and across generations.

The virtual meetings aim to:

• Build a shared understanding of the Seventh-Generation Principle in the context of climate action and holistic stewardship of nature.
• Gather ideas for agenda items and outputs for the Seventh-Generation Round Table at COP 30.
• Explore values, practices, and safeguards that must guide intergenerational climate action.

Expected Outputs

• Compilation of ideas and relevant materials to inform agenda-setting for the LCIPP Annual Seventh-Generation Roundtable
• Recommendations on approaches to ensuring the well-being of current and future generations, as envisioned under Article 3 of the Convention
• Case stories in diverse formats (e.g., photo stories, audio and video files, written materials) that articulate the Seventh-Generation Principle and its ethical application
