At its 13th meeting, held in Bonn this week, the Facilitative Working Group (FWG) of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) advanced implementation of the LCIPP Baku Workplan (2025–2027). For 2025, the FWG agreed to prioritize ambitious, just climate action grounded in holistic stewardship.
Around 200 representatives of Indigenous Peoples and local communities shared concrete, nature-centred approaches rooted in their diverse knowledge systems – emphasizing frontline leadership, intergenerational stewardship, and the central role of nature in climate solutions.
The LCIPP’s mandate and the FWG’s vision align with the incoming COP30 Presidency’s call for a “planetary renaissance,” placing Indigenous leadership and locally led action at the heart of just, effective climate action.
