Method for climate adaptation in the mountains27.05.2016Active Remedy Ltd submitted a report - outlining a method/tool for working with mountain communities and integrating modern and traditional knowledge conservation approaches – to a United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) database. The worldwide database gathers various uses of Local, Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge and Practices for Climate Adaptation. This tool is called the Sacred Groves and Green Corridors (SGGC) method, which is way of working directly with mountain communities that integrates modern and traditional knowledge conservation methods. It does this through combining the conservation methods of sacred groves, green-corridors/greenbelts, permaculture and companion planting. Because it has been formulated in relation to these communities, it offers a diversity of approaches that are in harmony with and are adaptable to local ecosystems and the social values, traditions and spiritual customs of local people. This method has not solely been formulated for implementation in the Himalayas. It is designed so that it can be applied and adapted to facilitate worldwide ecological restoration, preservation and adaptation efforts.
