Despite the pandemic, the first nine months of the year saw record concentrations of major greenhouse gases such as CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide. The Arctic Sea ice extent was also at record low levels for much of the summer.

The effects of climate change intensify in the form of extreme weather events, rising temperatures, warming oceans, glacial retreat, and reduced snow cover. We have less than 10 years to divert a complete climate breakdown.

They are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

The adoption of the LCIPP would help for respecting, recognizing and promoting indigenous knowledge, skills and cultural practices for climate change resilience that is not only limited to a global dialogue but is also pervasive at the national and local levels, too.
