Costa Rica: Indigenous responses to climate change
•How is this representation of climate change similar to the other things you’ve read/viewed? How is different?
This representation of climate change is similar to what we have been investigating, since according to what we have been investigating it is not the Indigenous people who are doing the great damage, but it is the industrialized countries that are creating more CO2 than the earth can receive , but the people ones who are being affected the most are the indigenous people, since they are the ones who maintain more contact with nature.
•Where do you see the influence of Indigenous peoples in this video? Where is it missing?
According to what I can observe in the video, you can see the influence of the indigenous people in REDD +, and where I most saw the influence of indigenous people is in FPIC, since it is the right recognized by the united nations.
•What solutions to climate change does this video propose?
One of the solutions propose in the video is to stop deforestation and to make surethe countries take part of REDD+
•Do you agree with the representation of Indigenous peoples and climate change action in the video? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree with the representation of indigenous people in the climate change action, because nowadays its a problem that is affection everybody and most of all the indigenous people

Hey Daniela, your observations are absolutely correct, its quite unfortunate that the impacts of climate change effects some people more than others especially if they have lower means of dealing with it (low adaptive capacity) but at this time, many countries have strong interest in finding ways to reduce the activities that are inducing climate change and this should be our collective focus. Every little effort counts, every knowledge system is important. #REDD+
And if we start making little efforts in our littles corners, we will achieve much in terms of mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Very impressive sense of the ideas being explored...:)
