""Indigenous peoples have for centuries adapted to changing environments and would be able to contribute substantially to adaptation strategies the U.N. is trying to include in a new climate change treaty," said Mark Lattimer of the London-based Minority Rights Group International (MRG).
Ahead of the conference on climate change, which started Monday, MRG researchers released a new study concluding that a new climate change deal would be "seriously compromised" if governments continued to shut out the voices of those most affected by global warming." (Thanks Rania)

I doubt they will have Bedouins! But they should, as indigenous people they have a lot to contribute to the climate change discussion. We need bottom-up approaches, not top-down.
