Indigenous Peoples' technology and knowledge

We talk about Indigenous Peoples' technology and the strength and barriers in a climate action context.

What are the strengths of IP knowledge and tech in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation?

How can we create synergies and win-win situations with modern climate technologies?

The general role of marginalised groups, such as Indigenous Peoples and women.

We also talk about the rights that Indigenous Peoples have, why respecting them is crucial and about the levels of acknowledgement and recognition within the UNFCCC system.
