At COP22 the Indigenous Peoples Caucus was invited by the UNFCCC secretariat to discuss a new platform for Indigenous Peoples as tangible a follow-up to the Paris Agreement and its paragraph 135. Representatives from 7 geo-political regions met to discuss the relevant article; provide comments on structure; and identify gaps as well as best practices. The Indigenous Peoples Caucus will submit its proposals to the UNFCCC secretariat on Friday, 11 November 2016.
