Indigenous Peoples, Marginalized Populations and Climate Change - Vulnerability, Adaptation, and Traditional Knowledge

Description:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its Fourth Assessment Report recognized traditional knowledge as 'an invaluable basis for developing adaptation and natural resource management strategies in response to environmental and other forms of change'. Despite this recognition, indigenous knowledge has remained largely outside the scope of IPCC assessments. In order to strengthen consideration of indigenous knowledge in IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (5AR), to be released in 2014, this publication draws the attention of Authors of the 5AR and climate policy makers to the rapidly growing scientific literature on the contributions of indigenous and traditional knowledge to understanding climate change vulnerability, resilience and adaptation. 6/13/12.
