Document Summary
Getting local voices to global talks on climate change: turner. Indigenous people face a variety hurdles to influencing international negotiations. They are scattered across the globe in small, remote communities. There are language barriers and less access to education, so indigenous leaders may find it difficult to understand the complex negotiations and power struggles that flummox even university professors. Their remoteness and small size makes them less relevant for scientists providing evidence for such major decisions as the anticipated cop climate deal. Resources are also a problem with international travel, hotels and booking fees, attending a conference can easily cost several thousand us dollars per person.
