Description

The authors present findings from research with Indigenous participants in one region of Australia. They identify a procedural vulnerability to climate change research - the marginalization of Indigenous peoples' perceptions of change in research studies and policies on climate change. They argue that this marginalization contributes to policy failures and poses a risk of conceiving solutions to climate change vulnerability that involve moving people out of the way of environmental risks, as conceived within colonial traditions, while moving them towards risks, as conceived through the perspectives of remote Indigenous communities.
