It is intended to assist Indigenous delegates attending COP 28 to understand the mandate and current priorities of this Special Rapporteur and how to submit relevant communications regarding human rights violations related to the causes, effects and false solutions to climate change. It will also provide an opportunity for them to share urgent situations they are facing and to recommend themes for his upcoming studies. It will be hosted and moderated by the International Indian Treaty Council, co-sponsored by the IITC and the office of the UN Special Rapporteur Dr. Ian Fry.
