The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is a high-level advisory body to the Economic and Social Council. It has a mandate to deal with indigenous issues related to economic and social development, culture, the environment, education, health and human rights.

YDC is currently conducting a review of its practices and working on securing funding to provide an improved delegate experience to Indigenous delegations. We aim to run an UNPFII delegation in 2025.
