The Convention of Parties (CoP) has now highlighted the need to recognize the knowledge, technologies, practices and efforts of Indigenous Peoples and local communities related to addressing and responding to climate change. Indigenous knowledge thus makes an important contribution to climate change policy, and Sustainable Development Goal 13 on climate action; by observing changing climates, adapting to its impacts and contributing to global mitigation efforts.

Join us in examining these vital interconnections and the way forward towards climate security.
