Montreal Meeting

The Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change (IHACC) project is working closely with Indigenous peoples and their organizations to combine science and traditional knowledge to strengthen health systems in light of a rapidly changing climate. The 5-year workplan focuses on vulnerability assessment, adaptation interventions, comparative analysis, and the creation of adaptation leaders, and has been developed around in-depth place-based studies in 3 remote regions: Bwindi Forest, Uganda (Batwa Pygmies); Peruvian Amazon (Shipibo and Shawi peoples); and the Canadian Arctic (Inuit).
