Indigenous Peoples Biocultural Climate Change Assessment

The Indigenous Peoples Biocultural Climate Change Assessment (IPCCA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of climate change on indigenous communities and their biocultural heritage. Led by organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations University (UNU), the IPCCA aims to provide a platform for indigenous voices to be heard in the global climate change discourse. The assessment highlights the critical role of indigenous knowledge in addressing climate change, as seen in the work of indigenous leaders like Sheila Watt-Cloutier and organizations like the Indigenous Peoples' Biocultural Climate Change Assessment (IPCCA) initiative, which is supported by the Climate and Land Use Alliance and the Ford Foundation.
