This builds upon two of the SDGs: SDG#13 for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts and SDG#15 which upholds the need to sustainably manage forests and halt biodiversity loss, eBKF9 builds on a recent shift in the relationship between science and other systems of knowledge, reflected in the explicit recognition of indigenous knowledge in many global environmental governance forums, UNESCO refers to local and indigenous knowledge as the understandings, skills, and philosophies developed by societies with long histories of interaction with their natural surroundings. Understanding indigenous knowledge of weather, long-term observations of environmental change, and community-based strategies for resilience are essential in the face of a changing and increasingly unpredictable climate. Indigenous knowledge contributes to a broader understanding of the changes occurring, as well as the responses required for effective adaptation.
