As holders of local knowledge, indigenous peoples are veritable sentinels of the climate upheavals they have been observing and adapting to for several decades. Faced with the complex challenges of the environmental crisis, communities involving indigenous experts and interdisciplinary researchers have formed to co-produce new knowledge. Yet, while co-production between local knowledge and science is a concept that is gaining momentum, its methodology and, above all, the ethics it requires are rarely defined. The Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, where hunters, fishermen and herders are faced with accelerating climate change, and where co-management committees and recognition of local knowledge have been in existence for several decades, are one of the authors' privileged places of observation. Navigators in the Pacific, farmers and herders in the Himalayas, pastoralists in the Sahel, and indigenous representatives at major international climate meetings also share their knowledge and critical analyses in this book. By studying their failures and successes retrospectively, the authors attempt, on the basis of joint field experiences, to identify the methods and ethical principles of this research, which has multiple objectives: - dealing with power asymmetries, by establishing committed, equitable and beneficial long-term relationships between partners; - react to public policies when, under the guise of adaptation or resolving stakeholder conflicts, they develop new protocols that ignore indigenous ontologies and knowledge; - co-produce new knowledge by combining knowledge from different knowledge systems, while reconciling epistemological and ontological differences. Based on concrete situations from a variety of fields, this book is aimed primarily at indigenous peoples and scientists involved in the co-production of knowledge, as well as teachers, students, researchers, managers of natural areas and practitioners interested in this approach. It proposes a method for achieving an ethical and decolonized co-production of knowledge.
