TEK is primarily concerned with the cultural beliefs, practices, and knowledge systems that Indigenous and local communities have developed over generations through their interactions with their natural environment.

TEK is typically transmitted orally from one generation to the next through storytelling, songs, rituals, and other forms of cultural expression.

TEK can offer valuable insights into traditional farming practices, land management techniques, and other strategies that have been developed by Indigenous communities to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

TEK places a strong emphasis on preserving and protecting the natural environment, recognizing the interconnectedness between humans and their surroundings.

TEK can contribute to the development of resilient ecosystems by promoting sustainable land management practices, conserving biodiversity, and protecting traditional knowledge systems.

TEK is sometimes marginalized in modern decision-making processes due to the perception that it lacks scientific rigor or empirical evidence, despite its valuable insights and practical applications.

TEK can contribute to climate change adaptation by supporting the development of sustainable agricultural practices that are resilient to changing environmental conditions and promote food security.

TEK is particularly valuable in addressing climate change impacts in remote and marginalized communities that have limited access to modern technologies and resources, and rely heavily on traditional knowledge systems for survival.

TEK can contribute to climate change adaptation by supporting the revitalization of traditional seed varieties that are resilient to changing environmental conditions and pests.

TEK is often overlooked in climate change adaptation strategies due to the perception that it lacks scientific rigor or empirical evidence, despite its valuable insights and practical applications.
