This is a recording of a session from the 15th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA15), which took place online from 14-18 June 2021.

Sustainable practices and use of Indigenous knowledge must be included as viable solutions for climate change. It is high time that policymakers, opinion influencers, the private sector and other stakeholders listen to Indigenous Peoples to save the only planet we all depend upon.

The workshop panellists shared experiences and lessons learned from Indigenous communities that have integrated innovations and traditional knowledge to enhance community climate resilience. 

The session explored examples and approaches to how this knowledge and innovation has been included into local government planning, budgeting or programme management.
