Small grants for Climate Change and Indigenous Knowledge Research
As part of our project entitled “Using indigenous knowledge to enhance community resilience to climate change in the mountainous region of Vietnam” funded by APN, we are seeking proposals for research projects that focus on the link between climate change and indigenous knowledge. Climate change is an urgent issue with far-reaching impacts. And, indigenous knowledge related to climate variability and change of peoples these days are vanishing and being lost. While public awareness about climate change and the loss of IK has increased, there is a need to do more to highlight IK as a valuable resource in terms of coping with climate change.
Strong research results can help keep this issue at the forefront of the public conversation as critical decisions are being made by policymakers, government and communities about how to best protect against and mitigate climate change and its impacts as well as preserving valuable indigenous knowledge that are fading and are at risk of being lost.
For that purpose, we are looking for research projects that share information or provide a new perspective on climate change and indigenous knowledge.
