This presentation will explore the current considerations and inclusion of Indigenous science and knowledge within climate impact and adaptation pathways with a focus on research that feeds into IPCC Working Group II. There has been an increase in mentions of Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge within climate research, yet there is little understanding of how (if at all) it has been included in research literature and data sources beyond mentions in introductions and overview chapters. Through a systematic review approach, applying an Indigenous lens, the following questions have been answered: how frequently has Indigenous science and knowledge been referred to in climate literature? What theoretical frameworks have been used? What ratio is within marine and coastal fields? And what methodologies and data types are currently being used? This research contributes to the discourse around climate justice and acceptance of Indigenous Peoples’ diverse knowledges relating to the current climate crisis. The presentation will describe next steps for this research and the importance of identifying the actual inclusion and acceptance of Indigenous science and knowledge in climate research.
