Question

How might we change this grim prognosis of climate change? in relation to indigenous traditions,
beliefs and history of living through an environmental collapse on local and regional levels since the

Answer 1

Answer:Indigenous peoples and the role they may play in combating climate change are rarely considered in public discourses on climate change.

Hence, it is not surprising that the special theme for the 7th session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which will take place from 21 April to 2 May 2008 in New York, is “Climate change, bio-cultural diversity and livelihoods: the stewardship role of indigenous peoples and new challenges”.
