Clean development mechanism (CDM) carbon markets opportunities for investments and sustainable development in local communities [1]

The objectives of the case studies are to determine the potential of indigenous knowledge in strategically
contributing to mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The case studies assess the indigenous
knowledge practiced and applied by local communities in East, West and Southern Africa regions and
determine the benefits of integrating indigenous knowledge into programmes and projects of climate
change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Overall, the case studies show how indigenous knowledge can
add value to the development of sustainable climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies that
support local communities
