Indigenous Knowledge, Innovation, and Climate Change
Summary. Indigenous knowledge systems offer proven strategies for climate adaptation and sustainable building design. The paper demonstrates how traditional cooling and environmental management practices from indigenous cultures provide effective, low-energy solutions for hot-dry climates. These approaches offer valuable alternatives to energy-intensive modern building technologies and can inform contemporary climate change mitigation strategies.
