Indigenous Peoples, especially those who live in geographically isolated, resource-dependent and/or impoverished communities, are often at greater risk of health impacts of climate change  . The close inter- connection of land-based livelihoods and cultural identity of many indigenous groups exposes them to multiple health- and nutrition- related hazards  with potential implications for community social relations and individual mental health . Climate change risk exposures may be complicated by changes in lifestyle, diet and morbidity driven by socioeconomic processes, further increasing health risks for Indigenous Peoples . Environmental consequences of climate change can also affect social ties and spiritual well-being, in part because land is often an integral part of their culture and spiritual identity.
