Bringing insights from Indigenous and local knowledge into climate change research requires addressing the transferability, integration, and scalability of this knowledge. Using a review of research on place-based observations of climate change impacts, we explore ways to address these challenges. Our search mostly captured scientist-led qualitative research, which – while facilitating place-based knowledge transferability to global research – did not include locally led efforts documenting climate change impacts. We classified and organized qualitative multi-site place-based information into a hierarchical system that fosters dialogue with global research, providing an enriched picture of climate change impacts on local social-ecological systems. A network coordinating the scalability of place-based research on climate change impacts is needed to bring Indigenous and local knowledge into global research and policy agendas.

将土著和当地知识的见解带入气候变化研究需要解决这些知识的可传递性，集成性和可扩展性。通过对基于位置的气候变化影响的观测研究进行回顾，我们探索了应对这些挑战的方法。我们的搜索主要是针对科学家主导的定性研究，尽管该研究促进了基于地点的知识向全球研究的转移，但并未包括记录气候变化影响的本地主导研究。我们将基于地点的定性多地点信息分类并组织到一个层次化的系统中，以促进与全球研究的对话，从而提供气候变化对当地社会生态系统影响的丰富图景。
