Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Action: Communicating Traditional Practices for Sustainable Living

Abstract

Indigenous knowledge systems, rooted in centuries of observation and adaptation, offer invaluable insights for addressing contemporary environmental challenges, particularly climate change. This research explores the potential of Indigenous knowledge in climate action by examining how traditional practices can be effectively communicated and integrated into sustainable living. By analyzing case studies of Indigenous communities worldwide, the study investigates the role of storytelling, cultural heritage, and community engagement in disseminating Indigenous wisdom. Furthermore, the research delves into the challenges and opportunities of bridging the gap between Indigenous and Western knowledge systems, highlighting the importance of collaborative approaches and mutual respect. Ultimately, this paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how Indigenous knowledge can empower communities to build resilience, mitigate climate change impacts, and foster sustainable futures.
