Facilitative Working Group of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform
The LCIPP Facilitative Working Group is a constituted body that was established at COP 24 in Katowice, December 2018.
The body was established with the objective of further operationalizing the LCIPP and facilitating the implementation of its three functions related to knowledge, capacity for engagement, and climate change policies and actions (see decision 2/CP.23, paragraph 6 for more detail on the functions). In so doing, it collaborates with other bodies under and outside the Convention, as appropriate, to enhance the coherence of the actions of the Platform under the Convention. The UNFCCC secretariat supports and facilitates the work of the body.
