“…Partnerships between Indigenous peoples and scientists to mitigate the impact of climate change on socio-economically, culturally and spiritually important ‘cultural keystone species’ (Garibaldi and Turner, 2004) are also driving recognition of relational worldviews, offsetting associated losses. For example, the Wabanaki peoples of Maine are working with scientists to monitor and conserve Black Ash against climate-induced pest damage, so future generations can continue cultural and spiritual relationships with this tree centred around basketry (Ranco et al., 2012). The Tūhoe iwi (tribe) of Aotearoa have co-developed a framework with scientists to monitor and manage the health of Kereru (wood pigeon) amidst climate variability (Lyver et al., 2009).…”

Although Indigenous peoples’ perspectives and concerns have not always been accommodated in climate change adaptation research and practice, a burgeoning literature is helping to reframe and decolonise climate adaptation in line with Indigenous peoples’ lived experiences. In this review, we bring together climate adaptation, decolonising and intersectional scholarship to chart the progress that has been made in better analysing and responding to climate change in Indigenous contexts. We identify a wealth of literature helping to decolonise climate adaptation scholarship and praxis by attending to colonial and neo-colonial injustices implicated in Indigenous peoples’ climate vulnerability, taking seriously Indigenous peoples’ relational ontologies, and promoting adaptation that draws on Indigenous capacities and aspirations for self-determination and cultural continuity. Despite calls to interrogate heterogenous experiences of climate change within Indigenous communities, the decolonising climate and adaptation scholarship has made limited advances in this area. We examine the small body of research that takes an intersectional approach to climate adaptation and explores how the multiple subjectivities and identities that Indigenous peoples occupy produce unique vulnerabilities, capacities and encounters with adaptation policy. We suggest the field might be expanded by drawing on related studies from Indigenous development, natural resource management, conservation, feminism, health and food sovereignty. Greater engagement with intersectionality works to drive innovation in decolonising climate adaptation scholarship and practice. It can mitigate the risk of maladaptation, avoid entrenchment of inequitable power dynamics, and ensures that even the most marginal groups within Indigenous communities benefit from adaptation policies and programmes.

“…At the same time, adaptation must accommodate and support the strategies that Indigenous peoples (especially Indigenous women) utilise to transform the socio-political drivers of their own vulnerability and adapt to change [345,351,352]. Many Indigenous communities (including those who participated in this research) are actively enhancing their health and wellbeing (and thereby mitigating climate risk) on a variety of levels [353][354][355]. Supporting these flaxroots (or 'grassroots') efforts is just one way that adaptation might achieve sustainable, just, and tailored vulnerability reduction whilst also aligning with Indigenous peoples' desires for self-determination and sovereignty, despite the challenge of climate change [113,356].…”

Diversifying Indigenous Vulnerability and Adaptation: An Intersectional Reading of Māori Women’s Experiences of Health, Wellbeing, and Climate Change

Despite evidence that Indigenous peoples’ multiple subjectivities engender diverse lived experiences both between and within Indigenous groups, the influence of multiple subjectivities on Indigenous peoples’ vulnerability and adaptation to climate change is largely un-explored. Drawing on ethnographic research with Indigenous Māori women in Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper provides empirical evidence that subjectivity-mediated power dynamics operating within Indigenous societies (at the individual and household scale) are important determinants of vulnerability and adaptation which should be considered in both scholarship and policy. Using an intersectional framework, I demonstrate how different Māori women and their whānau (families) live, cope with, and adapt to the embodied physical and emotional health effects of climate change in radically different ways because of their subject positionings, even though they belong to the same community, hapū (sub-tribe), or iwi (tribe). In underlining these heterogenous experiences, I provide an avenue for reconsidering how climate adaptation scholarship, policies, and practices might better engage with the complex, amorphous realities within Māori and other Indigenous communities. I argue it is possible to develop more inclusive, tailored, and sustainable adaptation that considers divergent vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities within Indigenous communities, groups, and societies and supports customised vulnerability-reduction strategies.

“…There is little literature that discusses how climate change will exacerbate invasive species and even less that explores how invasive species, coupled with climate change, will affect tribal forest resources. Although tribes and researchers are beginning to document the impacts of invasive species on forest ecosystems (Ranco et al 2012, SITC 2010, this area requires future research.…”

“…In Maine, Wabanaki black ash harvesters and basketmakers are working with university researchers, federal foresters, and others to prevent, detect and respond to the emerald ash borer. These blended-knowledge approaches have resulted in seed collection, mapping ash resources, creating policy guidelines, and public education and stakeholder engagement (Ranco et al 2012).…”
