dc.descriptionThis document is a formal submission to the United Nations Climate Action Summit that reports on a two-year research project examining cultural and local climate perspectives in Colombia. It explains that local populations have, since ancient times, developed knowledge systems to understand nature and climate phenomena such as precipitation patterns, frosts, rainbows, and seasonal cycles, interpreted through specific territorial and cultural contexts. The document describes how indigenous researchers and an interdisciplinary team documented these knowledge systems across multiple regions and social groups. It emphasizes the role of indigenous, small-scale farmer, and urban knowledge in dialogue with expert and policy knowledge. The submission also outlines analysis of national and international climate policy contexts and highlights methodological, gender, and intercultural dimensions of the research.en
