Title
Indigenous Knowledge Meets Science to Take on Climate Change
Description
In her Ted Talk, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim describes her nomadic pastoral community and how its members apply centuries-old cultural knowledge to do the same environmental work that developed nations use technology for, like weather prediction. She gives remarkable examples of this cultural knowledge and its implications for tackling environmental challenges. Ibrahim implores her audience to consider the voices of indigenous groups and combine their knowledge with the science and technology we already use to combat climate change and protect vulnerable groups.
