Recommendations for "Indigenous Peoples (51 results)"
New sources of knowledge beyond formal research systems that include local indigenous knowledge are also critical for agricultural innovation systems.
2018
Supporting climate resilience-building efforts requires site-specific solutions that are owned by the communities that they intend to help. A participatory, inclusive, equitable and gender-based approach is critical to bringing local stakeholders together to identify needs through a better understanding of the climate vulnerabilities and risks faced by communities and individuals. Likewise, it is important to take advantage of autonomous (i.e. local) knowledge and practices when addressing climate variability and extremes. Engaging local people and encouraging open community consultation when designing and implementing interventions helps to build community ownership and ensure long-term sustainability, while also taking into account cultural and gender issues.
