Letter to the INC Bureau from ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability

This letter from ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, represented by Dr Magash Naidoo, raises concerns about the exclusion of local and subnational governments from the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee process. It highlights reduced stakeholder participation, increasing unilateral decision-making, and limited transparency, and calls for more inclusive and open negotiations to ensure balanced and representative treaty outcomes.
