Sustainability in Peru Video | UN’s SDGs 10: Reduced Inequality & 17: partnerships for the goal
This course presents the Peruvian Andes as an ideal place to analyze the connections between Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Development.
Participants will understand how the Quechua communities in the Andes exemplify the paradoxical relationship between indigenous knowledge and environmental issues: while indigenous populations are among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, they also have developed a wealth of knowledge, practices, techniques, and technologies used for generations to ensure food security in face of calamities.
