Traditional Knowledge
Indigenous people living a subsistence lifestyle close to the land develop an intimate knowledge of the land and
ecosystems they inhabit. This knowledge is passed down through the generations, providing a long-term understanding
of the environment. Traditional knowledge provides a perspective on climate change and its impacts that complements
knowledge gained through scientific research.
