TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH IN CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN EAST HIMALAYAS
By Lun Yin，Misiani M Zachary
Climate change is a socio-ecological system which cannot be understood and evaluated by relying on physical sciences. This is mainly because its effects trickle down to the lowest level of society, particularly in rural communities of developing countries. This stems from the fact that rural communities rely on climate-sensitive sectors that include agriculture and other primary activities for their livelihoods. Agriculture in most rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia is rain-fed. Thus, the peoples’ perceptions about the changing climate and environmental conditions form the basis for their decision- making with regards the agricultural calendar and seasonal changes in water resources. Climate variability and change at the local level gives rise to the attainment of insights into the experiences of local people that are hardly reflected in hard-core scientific studies and models.
