Comprising just 4 percent of the world's population, indigenous populations utilise 22 percent of the world’s land surface. In doing so, they maintain 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity in 85 percent of the world’s protected areas. Indigenous approaches to the climate crisis holistically address the underlying causes of environmental decline and can act to complement western science. Any serious attempts to tackle the climate crisis must be inclusive of indigenous thinking and practices. In this session, learn more about the application of indigenous knowledge to climate change, how we can ensure indigenous voices are heard, and how they are shaping the climate policy agenda.
