Indigenous peoples are one of the most vulnerable groups to climate change. Although many communities are already responding to these impacts, inequitable structures impose barriers to their capacity to recover and adapt. Through the case of the Pehuenche people of Southern Chile, this article addresses the question of what is the relationship betw...

El cambio climático se ha posicionado en la agenda de investigación de las ciencias sociales. El escaso éxito de las respuestas hegemónicas y el avance de los impactos han fortalecido la irrupción de actores no estatales. Sin embargo, su rol continúa siendo poco explorado, especialmente en América Latina. En este artículo indagamos en tres ámbitos...

Además, la nota analítica de IWGIA propone una serie de recomendaciones par...
Climate change has a direct impact on the seasons. These changes can significantly impact communities living in close interdependence with their territories, such as Indigenous Peoples. Furthermore, these impacts are often entangled and reinforced by other ecological and social processes that affect how communities organise themselves. Drawing from...
Indigenous Peoples and local communities with nature-dependent livelihoods are disproportionately affected by climate change impacts, but their experience, knowledge and needs receive inadequate attention in climate research and policy. Here, we discuss three key findings of a collaborative research consortium arising from the Local Indicators of C...
Indigenous youth, alongside their communities, are not only contending with the impacts of climate change but also facing direct threats to their mental health and well-being. Many of them have been denied access to the traditional knowledge that empowers their Peoples to strengthen resilience, a knowledge closely associated with the concept of Bue...
There is a growing consensus about the relevance of the participation of non-state actors in climate governance. However, multiple barriers at the national and global levels still hinder the effectiveness of this engagement. Based on ethnographic research, this article analyses how non-state actors from two organisations −Ecos and the Chilean Indig...
Respuestas prácticas a barreras políticas. Factores que limitan la adaptación transformadora al cambio climático en Lonquimay, Chile RESUMEN Estudios recientes demuestran que los pueblos indígenas pueden contribuir a la adap-tación transformadora-entendida como la reducción de la vulnerabilidad a largo plazo mediante cambios profundos y sistémicos...
Indigenous Peoples and local communities are heavily affected by climatic changes. Investigating local understandings of climate change impacts, and their patterned distribution, is essential to effectively support monitoring and adaptation strategies. In this study, we aimed to understand the consistency in climate change impact reports and factor...

The effects of climate policy depend on the coherent integration of social, environmental and economic challenges, including Indigenous Peoples' demand for self-determination. Although Indigenous Peoples are gaining prominence in international climate change debates, their involvement in national legislation remains marginal. From an ethnographic a...
Global polls have shown that people in high-income countries generally report being more satisfied with their lives than people in low-income countries. The persistence of this correlation, and its similarity to correlations between income and life satisfaction within countries, could lead to the impression that high levels of life satisfaction can...
Climate change has a direct impact on the seasons. These changes can produce a significant impact on Indigenous communities living in close interdependence with the territory. Furthermore, these impacts are often entangled and reinforced by other socio-ecological processes altering the way communities organise themselves.The commune of Lonquimay, l...
Although the recognition of Indigenous Peoples' contributions to climate governance by the international community has gradually increased, a rights-based approach in national climate action is still largely absent. This article analyses the recognition of Indigenous Peoples' rights in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agre...
The effects of climate change depend on specific local circumstances, posing a challenge for worldwide research to comprehensively encompass the diverse impacts on various local social-ecological systems. Here we use a place-specific but cross-culturally comparable protocol to document climate change indicators and impacts as locally experienced an...
Vulnerability to climate change is a socially and historically constructed process where Indigenous peoples are most affected. From an ethnographic approach, this chapter analyses the social construction of the Mapuche-Pehuenche People's climate vulnerability. The study included interviews, participant observation, and a documental review. First, t...
At all levels, in all regions of the world, Indigenous Peoples face systemic, colonial barriers to their right to self-determination. This injustice is also evident in the multilateral sphere, where decisions are taken almost exclusively by the governments of multilaterally recognised nation-states. Such is the case of the United Nations Framework...
Globalmente, y en todos los niveles, los pueblos indígenas se enfrentan a barreras sistémicas y coloniales que obstaculizan su derecho a la libre determinación. Esta injusticia también es evidente en el ámbito multilateral, donde las decisiones son tomadas casi exclusivamente por los gobiernos de los Estados-nación reconocidos multilateralmente. Ta...
Indigenous Peoples’ advocacy and contributions to climate action have drawn international attention, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This article assesses to which degree the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) recognises the role and knowledge systems of Indigenous Peoples. Through a content analysis of the Wo...
Responses to sustainability challenges are not delivering results at the scale and speed called for by science, international agreements, and concerned citizens. Yet there is a tendency to underestimate the large-scale impacts of small-scale, local, and contextualized actions, and particularly the role of individuals in scaling transformations. Her...
We argue that solutions-based research must avoid treating climate change as a merely technical problem, recognizing instead that it is symptomatic of the history of European and North American colonialism. It must therefore be addressed by decolonizing the research process and transforming relations between scientific expertise and the knowledge s...
Los pueblos indígenas cobran relevancia en los debates globales sobre cambio climático; sin embargo, su involucramiento en la gobernanza climática nacional continúa siendo marginal. Este artículo analiza la consideración de la participación de los pueblos indígenas en la gobernanza climática chilena a través de una etnografía del Estado realizada e...
The climate vulnerability of Indigenous Peoples is closely related to their marginalization from decision-making processes. Although the engagement of Indigenous Peoples in climate policy is increasingly promoted at the international level, there are still multiple barriers to their meaningful participation at the national level. Through an ethnogr...
Indigenous Peoples’ advocacy has enabled them to position themselves in global debates on climate change. Although the international community progressively acknowledges Indigenous Peoples’ contributions to climate action, their effective recognition in national climate governance remains marginal. This article analyses Indigenous Peoples’ recognit...
Debido a diversas dinámicas de desigualdad, las mujeres indígenas son uno de los grupos más vulnerables ante los desastres que provoca el cambio climático. Históricamente, las mujeres indígenas han sido excluidas de los procesos de toma de decisión y tenencia de la tierra, siendo empujadas a escenarios de pobreza. Actualmente, los diversos impactos...
Indigenous Peoples positioned themselves in multilateral climate negotiations through their advocacy. Although the international community gradually recognises Indigenous Peoples' contributions to climate governance, a rights-based approach in national climate action is still largely absent. This policy paper maps governments’ climate commitments u...
Gracias a su lucha, los pueblos indígenas se han posicionado en las negociaciones climáticas multilaterales. Aunque la comunidad internacional reconoce gradualmente las contribuciones de los pueblos indígenas a la gobernanza climática, todavía no existe un enfoque basado en los derechos en la acción climática nacional. Este policy paper traza un ma...
En la última década, los Estados han construido su gobernanza climática en torno a compromisos asumidos internacionalmente. Las Contribuciones Nacionalmente Determinadas permiten identificar las prioridades políticas y el nivel de reconocimiento otorgado a los pueblos indígenas. Si bien se puede afirmar que discursivamente ha aumentado el reconocim...
This study explored cases of sustainable food production in urban and non-urban areas, including the development of urban gardens, and particularly the social relations involved in these community projects. A qualitative approach was used to compare four case studies in Chile and France: shared gardens in Lyon, family and workers' gardens in Santia...
Human cultural diversity is reflected in many different ways of knowing, being, and doing, each with specific histories, positionalities, and connections to ecosystems, landscapes, and the world. Such diversity results in plural knowledge systems. This white paper describes the characteristics and complexity of knowledge systems in the context of c...
