for the future   are not substitutable. Furthermore, interactions between climate impacts and existing inequalities can threaten the human rights of already-marginalised peoples by disrupting livelihoods and food security, which further erodes people's social, economic and cultural rights . For instance, European colonisation and ongoing development blocked the Cucapa Indigenous People's access and rights to resources in the Colorado River Delta, USA, over the 20th century. Recent reallocation of water rights and fishing access is allowing the Cucapa people to reconstruct their cultural identity , but future climate-change impacts could reverse the community's recovery of their cultural heritage. Adaptations that consider local needs may help sustain cultural services .
