#COP21: Northern delegates tweet from Paris climate talks
Smiles and selfies as Northerners talk climate change
If any Northerners wonder what their local delegates have been doing at the Paris climate talks, they can turn to Twitter. At the very least, they can find out who's been meeting who.
Representatives from the territorial governments, First Nations, and Inuit organizations are at COP21 touting their own climate change initiatives, lobbying for others to do more, and taking a few selfies along the way.
