Traditional knowledge in the global climate change regime: Narratives for an alternative science diplomacy

Abstract

Based on ethnographic observations during COP 21 in Paris in 2015, this case study focuses on the narratives mobilized around the articulation between Indigenous traditional knowledge and the fight against climate change. It distinguishes the consolidation of three major narratives that frame this new participation of Indigenous peoples in this global arena: the victim-hero narrative around the theme of resilience, the narrative of integrating traditional and scientific knowledge, and the supernatural ecology narrative that refers to diplomatic-type relations with spiritual entities. Altogether, these narratives construct traditional knowledge diplomacy as an alternative to the official scientific diplomacy of climate change. They are part of an Indigenous diplomacy whose main objective remains the recognition of Indigenous rights and territories inside nation-states.
