knowledge-based adaptation can accelerate effective robust climate resilient development pathways . Indigenous knowledge underpins successful understanding of, responses to and governance of climate change risks . For example, Indigenous knowledge contains resource-use practices and ecosystem stewardship strategies that conserve and enhance both wild and domestic biodiversity, resulting in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and species that are often less degraded in Indigenous managed lands in other lands . Valuing Indigenous knowledge systems is a key component of climate justice .
