In line with the celebration of the Indigenous Peoples Day at COP28 the @iipfcc participated in the COP28 Indigenous Peoples Dialogue with the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, the COP 28 Presidency, and the UNFCCC Secretariat on 5 December in the Blue Zone at the Expo City Dubai.
Indigenous Peoples are key agents of change for climate action and for ensuring a just transition for all. Growing evidence shows that Indigenous Peoples values, knowledge, practices, and ways of living are instrumental for environmental conservation, maintaining biodiversity, furthering green jobs, enhancing resilience, and addressing climate change.
The Dialogue focused on how collective action can support both Indigenous Peoples inclusion in just transition plans and highlight clear examples of how Indigenous Peoples are already leading and contributing to just and inclusive transitions.
