Indigenous Peoples around the world often hold unique worldviews that link today's generations with past generations. In particular, many Indigenous Peoples consider concepts of responsibility through intergenerational equity, thereby honouring both past and future generations . This can often be in sharp contrast to environmental valuing and decision making that occurs in Western societies . Therefore, consideration of Indigenous knowledge and local knowledge needs to be a priority in the assessment of adaptation futures ; Ford et al., 2016) , although adequate indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights require legal and non-legal measures for recognition and protection .
