  1. 1. TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE FOR ADAPTATION/ RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Dulani Lavanya Samarasekara Witharana; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :climate change adaptation; resilient agroecosystems; Hindu Kush Himalaya; indigenous knowledge; traditional farming; traditional ecological knowledge;

    Sammanfattning : Mountain agricultural systems in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are in a unique position to contribute to promoting nature-based solutions in adaptation and resilience to climate change since they are least impacted by the influence of commercial high-production agriculture. This study aims to explore currently available literature for evidence of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) based agriculture in the HKH region and analyse their contribution to region and location specific climate change adaptation.

  2. 2. Weaving relations: Exploring the epistemological interaction between indigenous & traditional ecological knowledge and Eurowestern paradigms in education for sustainable development - an umbrella review

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för didaktik och pedagogisk profession

    Författare :Alexandra Silvestru; [2023-06-08]
    Nyckelord :Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge ITEK ; education for sustainable development ESD ; education for sustainability EfS ; sustainable development; western epistemology; ontology; epistemic justice; decolonization; transformative paradigm; umbrella review; systematic review;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: This thesis aims to explore the epistemological challenges and opportunities of integrating Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (ITEK) in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within the context of Euro-Western paradigms. Theory: In considering epistemological interactions between ITEK in ESD, the theoretical framework for this study is a "weave" of the transformative paradigm as the warp; postcolonial, decolonial, and Indigenous research methodologies as the weft; and the transdisciplinary approach as the frame.

  4. 4. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Colin Potter; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  5. 5. Indigenous Peoples and the shifting paradigm on conservation - From the myth of untouched nature to the role of human cultures in protecting biodiversity

    Magister-uppsats, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för strategisk hållbar utveckling

    Författare :Nigel Maduro; Carlos Ambriz; Lisa Heyman; Mari Buoro; [2023]
    Nyckelord :conservation policymaking; Indigenous Peoples; biodiversity; cultural diversity; traditional ecological knowledge; sustainability;

    Sammanfattning : This master thesis explores the shifting paradigm in conservation, moving away from the myth behind the preservationist approach that separates humans from nature towards a more inclusive conservationist approach. The study focuses on the role of Indigenous Peoples in this evolving paradigm and examines factors that influence their ability to participate in and influence conservation debates and policies.
