Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change: Emerging Research on Traditional Knowledge and Livelihoods
The event will deepen an understanding about the interplay of traditional knowledge systems, rooted in indigenous ways of life, cultural approaches and traditional occupations, with the transformations being experienced in societies, economies, institutions, technologies and the climate. Experts will share key findings from new research prepared in collaboration between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the University of Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment. The launch and workshop around the publication will serve to highlight successful experiences and practices of indigenous peoples in the world of work, particularly rooted in traditional knowledge and occupations, as well as through examples that highlight the amalgamation of traditional and scientific knowledge. The discussion is expected to bring to the fore the vital role traditional knowledge can play in a future of work that is increasingly confronting climate change, as well as the developments underway in the policy world at the international level.
