Studies show that women face higher risks and greater burdens from the impact of climate change. With this knowledge, national and county governments have to put more consideration into the application of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) in climate action. The infusion of traditional knowledge with modern technologies in climate action is critical. It guarantees that traditional resources, ideas, goals and aspirations of local communities are recognised when both governments design climate action programs and projects. Capitalising on traditional knowledge can lead to the development of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies that are cost-effective, participatory and sustainable.
