The 2015 Sendai Fram ework for Disaster Risk Reduction\, a prime exemplar\, promotes policy rec ognition of Indigenous environmental management knowledges and practices. Yet\, inclusion of Indigenous climate change management techniques in poli cy frameworks has primarily been informed by the ‘etic’ gaze of Wester n European science and comprehensive implementation strategies remain lack ing. Socio-ecological systems theory is being drawn on to frame interpreta tions of Indigenous identity concepts\, space places and practices. How cu ltural contexts and linkages between Indigenous culture\, identity and pla ce may be used to enhance climate change resilience are rarely considered\ , which has resulted in misunderstanding and misapplication of Indigenous knowledges pertaining to climate change mitigation. Current policy and res earch literature gaps are addressed by presenting and situating ‘emic’ perspectives and aspirations regarding Indigenous approaches to climate c hange adaptation. International exemplars of Indigenous initiatives are us ed to illustrate the effectiveness of culture-based approaches to climate change risk mitigation\, adaptation and resilience. The ways in which cult ural attributes shape Indigenous responses to climate change and are mobil ised to mitigate risks to community resilience are discussed. The role of Indigenous eco-genealogical linkages as a foundation for effective climate change adaptation is considered and policy conceptualisations of Indigeno us culture\, identity and sense of place that marginalise traditional know ledges are challenged.\n\nProfessor Christine Kenney\nProfessor Christine Kenney is the inaugural Chair of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at Massey U niversity\, and Director of Te Toi Whakaruruhau o Aotearoa\, the national Māori Disaster Risk Reduction Research Centre.
