How has Indigenous knowledge been leveraged to support climate change adaptation in mountain regions? This brief synthesises experience and learning captured on the Adaptation at Altitude Solution Portal and explores the use of Indigenous knowledge in climate adaptation in mountain regions through five themes.

This solution is one of 18 climate change adaptation solutions shared in Mountains ADAPT: Solutions from East Africa, which showcases adaptation solutions proven to be successful in response to specific issues caused or accelerated by climate change. These solutions were selected for their inclusive approaches, their potential to be transferred and upscaled, as well as their extended benefits for downstream communities across the East Africa Community. This solution is described in the booklet on page 38: "Cow dung for fuel".
