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, FirstNations, and Inuit organizations are at COP21 touting their own climate changeinitiatives, lobbying for others to do more, and taking a few selfies along the way.
