"Indigenous delegates have been informed that some States are attempting to strike out all references to UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in the current negotiating text. Indigenous delegates are very concerned of these attempts to remove the protection of indigenous rights in UNFCCC sessions.
