Last May in Bonn I sat down for a chat and drinks with Tomohiro Harada, a researcher who quickly became a trusted companion of Indigenous Peoples during the Bonn and Katowice climate change conferences in 2018. We talked about the growing pains of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform I think there's a lot of value in this for you. Tweet your thoughts @gomaluku!
