This article discusses the importance of indigenous populations in ecosystem conservation, traditional knowledge, and adaptation to climate change in Latin America.
This article analyzes the effectiveness of indigenous peoples in environmental conservation, ecosystem-based adaptation, and climate resilience, with case studies from Latin America.
In Latin America, and particularly in Venezuela, increasing value is being placed on agricultural, scientific, technical, ecological, and medicinal knowledge that belongs to a system of wisdom infused with ancestral heritage, characteristic of Indigenous peoples and their cultural worldview, which has allowed them to live in harmony with the environment through various practices without altering its natural cycles.
The video highlights that coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and seagrasses are essential for addressing climate change, both for their ability to capture and store blue carbon and for their role in Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), which protects coastal communities from extreme events.
This UNFCCC report explores the contributions of indigenous peoples to climate change adaptation, ecosystem management, and policy recommendations for inclusive adaptation strategies.
This project addresses the impacts of changing rainfall patterns due to climate change on agricultural production in the Ecuadorian Sierra. Implemented in an indigenous community on the eastern hillside of Cotacachi volcano, it developed community-based water harvesting techniques and agroecological practices to enhance local adaptation.
This project supports the implementation and financing of ecosystem-based adaptation by the food and agriculture sector in Latin America, focusing on risk reduction and environmental impacts.
This handbook provides guidance on participatory scenario generation for climate adaptation, including ecosystem-based approaches and community engagement.
This note offers strategies for maximizing ecosystem-based adaptation in national adaptation planning, emphasizing nature-based solutions and resilience building.
This project supports camel farmers in improving their ability to adapt to the effects of climate change. It uses efficient soil and water management as well as agroecological practices combined in a holistic management approach. This approach helps to increase vegetative land cover and forage production in grasslands.
