About Indigenous Climate Change

Indigenous-led thinking for a changing climate

 

 

 

Indigenous Climate Change is an Indigenous-led climate adaptation and environmental advisory organisation working across Indigenous knowledge, environmental science, biodiversity, policy and research.

We work to strengthen the place of Indigenous knowledge, authority and perspectives within the systems that shape responses to climate change and biodiversity loss.

Our approach recognises that Indigenous knowledge is more than information to be incorporated into existing systems. It is connected to Country, culture, responsibility and authority — and these relationships matter in how knowledge is shared, understood and acted upon.

​

Our approach

We believe strong climate adaptation comes from bringing different ways of knowing and working into respectful relationship.

Indigenous knowledge and Western science can sit alongside one another without one being used to validate the other.

Our work creates practical connections between knowledge, policy and action while respecting the authority of Indigenous peoples and communities over their knowledge and Country.

​

Our purpose

To strengthen Indigenous leadership, knowledge and authority within climate adaptation and biodiversity       decision-making.
