Abstract
Assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) play a critical role in producing global knowledge on climate change. This is not a value-neutral role. As Indigenous issues have been underrepresented in previous IPCC assessments, this review analyzes how Indigenous content is covered and framed in Assessment Report 5 Working Group II (WGII). The development of culturally relevant and appropriate adaptation policies requires a more robust, nuanced, and appropriate inclusion and framing of Indigenous issues in future assessment reports. The article outlines how this can be achieved.
