ABSTRACT

Existing frameworks for interpreting and acting upon the health consequences of climate change fail to engage with the multiple and complex forms of loss and damage that Indigenous peoples experience to their health and wellbeing in a changing climate. Using a case study of Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand, we call for a new research agenda that foregrounds Indigenous peoples’ collective, relational perspectives on health and wellbeing in order to better conceptualise the health implications of climate change. The agenda builds understanding and recognition of intangible loss and damages, bringing multiple knowledge systems and worldviews into conversation to drive adaptation that not only safeguards but also promotes the visions Indigenous peoples have for their health and wellbeing.

摘要

现有的解释和应对气候变化对健康的影响的框架无法解决土著人民在不断变化的气候中对其健康和福祉所经历的多种复杂形式的损失和损害。我们使用新西兰Aotearoa毛利人的案例研究，提出了一项新的研究议程，着眼于土著人民对健康和福祉的集体，关系观点，以便更好地概念化气候变化对健康的影响。议程增进了对无形损失和损害的理解和认识，将多种知识体系和世界观进行了对话，以推动适应不仅保护而且促进了土著人民对其健康和福祉的愿景。
