During this year's High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), several indigenous representatives
will engage in short media sessions to reflect on different issues related to sustainable development and indigenous communities. The sessions will be held for 25 minutes at the UN Correspondents Association (UNCA) Lounge (3rd floor, Secretariat building) and coordinated by the Indigenous Peoples Major Group (IPMG) and the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA).
