ABOUT IIPFCC
The International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) was established in 2008, as the Caucus for Indigenous Peoples (IP) participating in the UNFCCC processes. The IIPFCC represents the IP Caucus members who are attending the official UNFCCC COPs and intersessional sessions of the SBSTA and SBI bodies. International Indigenous peoples‘ representatives attending the meetings have organizations at subnational, national, and global levels with their own agendas, priorities, and proposals that they can carry and push for during the IP Caucus meetings.
