Raising voices, raising ambition: Indigenous peoples and local communities’ contributions to NDCs

The event will spotlight the important role of Indigenous people and local communities (IPLCs) in countries’ national climate plans. Speakers from COICA, CONFENIAE and a representative from the Ministry of Environment, Peru will share experiences and best practices to discuss how IPLCs can effectively and fully participate in national policymaking and decision-making processes. This will be critical as countries revise their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). A policy brief on the role of IPLCs in raising the Paris Agreement ambition and implementation in Latin America will be released the same day.
