Traditional ecological knowledge in innovation governance: a framework for responsible and just innovation

David Ludwig, Phil Macnaghten · 2019 · Journal of Responsible Innovation

Summary. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is often eroded by Western innovation focused on economic growth and technological modernization. This paper argues that innovation governance must shift away from growth-oriented definitions toward frameworks emphasizing societal goals. The authors contend that responsible innovation approaches alone cannot address TEK integration without confronting underlying decolonization and social justice issues that shape how traditional communities experience and control change.
