| Summary: | "This book centers Indigenous knowledge and practice in community-led climate change solutions. This book will be one of the first academic books to use the consciousness framework to examine and explain humans' situatedness and role in maintaining ecosystems' health. Drawing on teachings from the Indigenous Adi-Shaiva community, the authors present up-to-date research on meanings and implications of South Asian traditional cosmic knowledge, which focuses on relationality and spirituality connected to climate change. This knowledge can create climate change solutions in areas including land, water, traditional management, sustainability goals and expectations, and state development projects. Overall, this book provides an innovative framework for non-violent climate solutions, which has its foundations in a traditional cosmic and consciousness-based context. Bridging the gap between Indigenous and Western perspectives by re-educating researchers and decolonizing popular climate change solutions, this book will be of great interest students and scholars of climate change, conservation, environmental anthropology, and Indigenous studies more broadly"-- |
