Climate Change Monitoring And Information Network (CCMIN)

The CCMIN was established by Asia Indigenous Peoples' Pact  together with its partner organisations as a channel for information dissemination and exchange at the local, national and regional levels on climate change issues relating to indigenous peoples. Through this monitoring and information network, AIPP hopes to facilitate greater sharing and access to information, and to contribute to awareness-raising and drawing of attention to the particular issues of indigenous peoples and climate change.
