How Indigenous People View Climate Change
The title of my presentaion is: Conflict and sustainability in a changing environment: Throught the eyes of communities
I will mostly speak and read from my book so no AV needed. I hope the words will visualize the context.
My objective is to share with you a view of climate change from indigenous peoples, whom are closest to nature. And demonstrate how that view conflict with our western view of climate change.
