On
the Frontlines of Climate Change
A forum for indigenous peoples, small islands and vulnerable communities.
In response to the outcry over the continuing absence of vulnerable
groups from international debates on climate change, UNESCO’s
Coasts and Small Islands platform and Local and Indigenous Knowledge
Systems programme launched an Internet-based discussion forum on 12
June. The Frontlines forum will explore the experiences of rural or
indigenous communities living in small islands, the circumpolar Arctic,
high-altitude zones, low-lying coastal areas, tropical forests, desert
margins and other vulnerable environments. For many people, climate
change is a distant threat but, for these vulnerable communities,
it is already a reality. The forum is being launched in partnership
with the Secretariats of the Convention on Biological Diversity and
the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Office
of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
