Climate change is a global challenge\, but the consequences are distributed very unevenly: While the countries with the largest share of global emissions usually have the means to counter th e negative effects\, other regions are disproportionately more affected. I ndigenous communities in the Global South are particularly exposed to the consequences of climate change\, even though they are not responsible for causing it.

The knowledge of indigenous communities is often th e key to overcoming these challenges\, for example in the sustainable mana gement of tropical forests or the use of renewable raw materials. However\ , when considering the implementation of development projects or even clim ate protection measures\, indigenous knowledge usually plays a subordinate role. Instead\, indigenous communities are increasingly exposed to land g rabbing\, displacement\, industrialization\, marginalization\, oppression and persecution. \;

This seminar aims to make the indigenou s knowledge of Southeast Asia visible and to discuss how it can be incorpo rated more broadly into international development cooperation – with sci entists\, political decision-makers and activists.

The UN city of Bonn offers an ideal setting to get in touch with United Nations organi zations and gain insights into their work. In a digital exchange with indi genous environmental activists from Southeast Asia\, the seminar will focu s on the perspectives and experiences of those affected.
