The UN climate process is seeking input on what its Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform should do next.
Indigenous Peoples, Tribal governments, local communities, and other stakeholders may submit proposed activities and thematic priorities for the LCIPP’s 2028–2031 workplan by September 30. Comments will be considered by the Facilitative Working Group at its 16th meeting (FWG 16) in November 2026 in Antalya, Turkey.
Some questions commenters might address include:
- Looking towards 2031, what concrete outcomes should the LCIPP seek to achieve?
- Drawing on the discussions across the gathering, what issues, activities, or areas of work should be prioritized in the 2028-2031 workplan to help achieve those outcomes?
- Where could stronger connections between the LCIPP and other bodies, workstreams, and processes under the UNFCCC create the greatest added value?
Organizations with UNFCCC observer status submit through their designated contacts; those without observer status may send comments directly to submission-info@unfccc.int.
A separate November 1 deadline invites views on the LCIPP’s impact to date. The official two-page submission guide is here.
