Background

Decision 16/CP.26 requested “the Facilitative Working Group (FWG) to report on its outcomes, including a draft third three-year workplan of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform(LCIPP), and the activities under the Platform for consideration by the Conference of the Parties at its twenty-ninth session (November 2024) through the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice at its sixtieth session (June 2024).” 

At its 10th meeting, the FWG adopted a draft timeline and outline for the FWG report, and a draft overall outline and key considerations for the LCIPP workplan 2025-27.  

The FWG also decided to: 

1. Use as inputs information shared from the small group discussions in its 9th and 10th meetings. 

2. Hold virtual informal contributors’ dialogue to share updates and receive further Inputs. 

3. Convene an intersessional virtual or in-person meeting by the end of January 2024, subject to the availability of resources, to discuss and finalize both documents. 

The FWG has convened a series of informal virtual meetings between 22 January and 15 February to prepare its report, including a third three-year work plan of the LCIPP. 

FWG Members are also preparing to dialogue directly with their respective socio-cultural regions.
