Climate Resilience

Indigenous communities have long developed knowledge and practices related to the management of their natural environments. These approaches often reflect close relationships with land, forests, water sources, plants, and animals.
Many Indigenous territories overlap with areas of significant global biodiversity. At the same time, many communities are experiencing the impacts of climate change.
Pawanka Fund supports initiatives developed by Indigenous organizations that focus on community-based responses, knowledge exchange, and local strategies that contribute to climate resilience.
