Indigenous Peoples' technology and knowledge - a podcast by UNEP DTU Partnership

We talk about Indigenous Peoples' technology and the strength and barriers in a climate action context.

What are the strengths of IP knowledge and tech in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation?

How can we create synergies and win-win situations with modern climate technologies?

The general role of marginalised groups, such as Indigenous Peoples and women.

We also talk about the rights that Indigenous Peoples have, why respecting them is crucial and about the levels of acknowledgement and recognition within the UNFCCC system.

Guests:
- Tunga Bhadra Rai, national coordinator at the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities
- Pirawan Wongnithisathaporn, Environment Program Officer at the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact
- Sara Trærup, lead on the Technology Needs Assessment project, working with almost 100 countries on prioritising and implementing climate tech.

Special thanks to IWGIA - the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs - a global human rights organisation dedicated to promoting, protecting and defending Indigenous Peoples’ rights, for their support in the making of this episode.
