Indigenous self-determination and self-governance are the foundations of adaptive strategies that improve understanding and research on climate change, develop actionable community plans and policies on climate change, and have demonstrable influence in improving the design and allocation of national, regional and international programmes relating to climate change . Historical and contemporary developments have crystallised international norms recognising the distinct status, role and rights of Indigenous Peoples in the form of significant international human rights instruments. Premier among them is the UNDRIP , which has received universal consensus since its adoption by the UN General Assembly. The UN member States have affirmed the right of self-determination  regarded as the prerequisite to the exercise and enjoyment of all other human rights.
