UN Climate Conference (COP 22)
Indigenous Peoples’ & Communities’ Pavilion: Traditional Knowledge for Climate Action
Venue
The Indigenous Peoples’ & Communities’ Pavilion will be an event and meeting space to facilitate the effective representation of indigenous peoples and communities at COP 22 and raise visibility of their issues in the climate context. In particular, the Pavilion will focus on the contribution of indigenous and traditional knowledge, technologies, and management practices to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The purpose of the Pavilion is to facilitate the effective representation of indigenous peoples and communities by providing a dedicated gathering space to meet to coordinate on messaging and advocacy strategies; to convene events like presentations, policy dialogues, panel discussions, publication launches, etc. to advance discourse on indigenous peoples’ and communities’ solutions to climate change; and to be a center for learning and knowledge exchange on indigenous peoples’ and community issues in the climate context. The Pavilion will be a highly-visible platform for communicating and amplifying messages of indigenous peoples and communities during the COP 22 negotiations.
