Full Description
This volume aims to highlight Indigenous knowledge toward climate mitigation with a focus on peoples in Sub-Saharan Africa, an underpublished region vis a vis this topic. The term "climate justice" has emerged to explain how vulnerable, marginalized, and disadvantaged groups - often those who are least responsible for climate change caused by (often colonially induced) environmental damage, tend to suffer its gravest impacts. Indigenous climate justice efforts show promise in contributing to managing global climate change and its impact on vulnerable groups, especially Indigenous Peoples.
To contribute to the advancement of research in this area, this book examines intersectional approaches to climate justice and explores how the varies ideas and methods from Indigenous Peoples in Sub-Saharan Africa can contribute to policies on climate change adaptation. Aspects of Indigenous knowledge that are examined within the context of climate justice include natural resource management; governance; conservation and gendered impact of climate change; food sovereignty and health.
