We argue that solutions-based research must avoid treating climate change as a merely technical problem, recognizing instead it is symptomatic of the history European and North American colonialism. It therefore be addressed by decolonizing process transforming relations between scientific expertise knowledge systems Indigenous Peoples local communities. Partnership across diverse can path to transformative only if those are respected in their entirety, indivisible cultural wholes knowledge,...
Abstract The effects of climate change depend on specific local circumstances, posing a challenge for worldwide research to comprehensively encompass the diverse impacts various social-ecological systems. Here we use place-specific but cross-culturally comparable protocol document indicators and as locally experienced analyze their distribution. We collected first-hand data in 48 sites inhabited by Indigenous Peoples communities covering all zones nature-dependent livelihoods. documented...
Responses to sustainability challenges are not delivering results at the scale and speed called for by science, international agreements, concerned citizens. Yet there is a tendency underestimate large-scale impacts of small-scale, local, contextualized actions, particularly role individuals in scaling transformations. Here, we explore fractal approach transformations based on "universal values." Universal values proposed as intrinsic characteristics that connect humans nature coherent,...
Abstract Indigenous Peoples and local communities with nature-dependent livelihoods are disproportionately affected by climate change impacts, but their experience, knowledge needs receive inadequate attention in research policy. Here, we discuss three key findings of a collaborative consortium arising from the Local Indicators Climate Change Impacts project. First, reports environmental provide holistic, relational, placed-based, culturally-grounded multi-causal understandings change,...
Abstract Indigenous Peoples’ advocacy and contributions to climate action have drawn international attention, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This article assesses which degree IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) recognises role knowledge systems of Peoples. Through a content analysis Working Groups I, II, III reports Synthesis Report, we found an increasing number references related Peoples their systems. However, IPCC still perpetuates reductionist...
Global polls have shown that people in high-income countries generally report being more satisfied with their lives than low-income countries. The persistence of this correlation, and its similarity to correlations between income life satisfaction within countries, could lead the impression high levels can only be achieved wealthy societies. However, global typically overlooked small-scale, nonindustrialized societies, which provide an alternative test consistency relationship. Here, we...
Climate change has a direct impact on the seasons. These changes can significantly communities living in close interdependence with their territories, such as Indigenous Peoples. Furthermore, these impacts are often entangled and reinforced by other ecological social processes that affect how organise themselves. Drawing from ethnographic research complemented life story of Pewenche woman, this article analyses intertwined effects climate state policy knowledge seasonality People Southern...
The climate vulnerability of Indigenous Peoples is closely related to their marginalization from decision-making processes. Although the engagement in policy increasingly promoted at international level, there are still multiple barriers meaningful participation national level. Through an ethnography State, this article analyses how both State's political orientation, and its interpretations different stakeholders, influence Mapuche-Pehuenche communities two mitigation projects implemented...
Abstract Indigenous Peoples and local communities are heavily affected by climatic changes. Investigating understandings of climate change impacts, their patterned distribution, is essential to effectively support monitoring adaptation strategies. In this study, we aimed understand the consistency in impact reports factors influencing at site individual levels. We conducted cross-cultural research among iTaukei (Fiji), Dagomba (Ghana), fisherfolks (Tanzania), Tsimane’ (Bolivia), Bassari...
The effects of climate policy depend on the coherent integration social, environmental and economic challenges, including Indigenous Peoples' demand for self-determination. Although Peoples are gaining prominence in international change debates, their involvement national legislation remains marginal. From an ethnographic approach, this article assesses vertical coherence – objectives set commitments, policymaking local implementation Chilean governance regarding People's participation. I...
Abstract Although the recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ contributions to climate governance by international community has gradually increased, a rights-based approach in national action is still largely absent. This article analyses rights Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under Paris Agreement. We conducted content analysis all NDCs submitted between 2016 and May 2022. Through five-pronged framework sustainable self-determination, we assessed how recognise: i. Peoples as...

Sin embargo, su rol continúa siendo poco explorado, especialmente América Latina. En este artículo indagamos tres ámbitos centrales a considerar para enfrentar desafíos políticas asociadas al climático, que aún son áreas incipientes Latinoamérica: demandas participación pueblos indígenas;...
Abstract Indigenous Peoples have been emphatic: the climate crisis will not be solved by same paradigm that caused it. Their advocacy, coupled with a growing acknowledgement of knowledge systems' contributions to action and transformative change, has drawn international attention, including from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Nevertheless, many barriers effective, rights-based recognition remain, reinforcing Peoples' marginalisation in science politics. Based collaboration...
