First Meeting of the LCIPP Facilitative Working Group

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. In so doing, it will also collaborate 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.

The body meets twice per year in conjunction with the sessions of the subsidiary bodies and the session of the Conference of the Parties. The first meeting of the Facilitative Working Group of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform will take place in conjunction with the 50th session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice.

Under the incremental approach, the Facilitative Working Group will propose an initial two-year workplan for the period 2020–2021 for implementing the functions of the Platform. This will be considered at SBSTA 51.
