Abstract

The climate change is a global phenomenon and it has been impacting both developed and developing countries across the world. India has not escaped from the unprecedented disasters caused due to climate change. It has a devastating effect on the environment that jeopardises the well-being of indigenous people by causing disruptions to their traditional livelihoods, cultural practices, and social structures. This research explores the multifaceted correlation between climate change and indigenous people in India, analysing the diverse obstacles that they encountered and the inventive adoption methods they have devised to manage the intensifying climate situation. This paper examines the complex vulnerabilities faced by indigenous groups; emphasising their dependence on biodiversity, natural resources, and preservation of their cultural heritage for their survival and sustainable development. Moreover, the study investigates the ability of indigenous people to withstand and adjust to challenges, utilizing their ancestral knowledge and customs in order to formulate successful methods of adaptation.
