Climate change is not just destroying our planet - it is threatening the very survival of communities, cultures and languages. Indigenous and minority communities across the world have an unique and close relationship with nature, and because their livelihoods often depend on the environment they are amongst the worst affected by climate change.

UN member states are locked in negotiations to get a climate change deal through by 2009, but indigenous and minority communities have been left out of these crucial negotiations.

Their voices must be heard.
