The Establishment of the Platform
“Conference of the Parties recognizes the need to strengthen knowledge, technologies, practices and efforts of local communities and indigenous peoples related to addressing and
responding to climate change, and establishes a platform for the exchange of experiences and sharing of best practices on mitigation and adaptation in a holistic and integrated manner.” (Decision 1/CP.21)
“Parties acknowledge that adaptation action…should be based on and guided by the best available science and, as appropriate, traditional knowledge, knowledge of indigenous peoples and local knowledge systems.” (Paris Agreement, 2015)
