International Climate Summits

Representing local actors

Since the first Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP) in 1995, Climate Alliance has participated as an official observer in these important events. In so doing, we raise awareness on the role of Indigenous peoples and local authorities amongst decision makers and other stakeholders in the international climate process.

Climate Alliance is an official member of Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency, which acts as a focal point for local level players, facilitating the exchange of information between them and the Climate Change Secretariat. We are also active in the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA) process, which aims to give the local level, civil society and other non-state actors a voice in the international climate negotiations. The LPAA, recognised by the UN, is promising to become a permanent fixture in the run up to these annual Climate Summits.
