Listening is essential to ensure that the global adaptation framework reflects the specific needs and contributions of indigenous peoples and traditional communities. “We constantly observe changes in the territory and have been learning from it, even though the impacts are extremely serious. So I believe that these are the best examples of climate change adaptation strategies based on traditional knowledge of our territory,” says Luene Karipuna, also a representative of the RCA.
