    Los conocimientos ecológicos tradicionales que los pueblos indígenas, a partir de sus más profundas convicciones religiosas y sistemas de creencias, han ido desarrollando sobre sus territorios y transmitiendo de generación en generación, desde tiempo inmemoriales, están demostrando ser de vital importancia en la lucha contra el cambio climático. Si bien, hace no tantos años, la tendencia imperante dentro de la comunidad científica era la de denigrar e infravalorar el potencial que estos conocimientos poseían, de un tiempo a esta parte estos pueblos están empezando a ver formalmente reconocido su papel decisivo en la mitigación y adaptación a este fenómeno ambiental. Esta investigación analiza la evolución, tanto en el plano científico como en el normativo, que ha experimentado el reconocimiento del rol de estos pueblos en la consecución de los objetivos fijados en materia ambiental y climática, al tiempo que plantea los retos pendientes que todavía están por afrontar.

    The traditional ecological knowledge indigenous peoples, based on their deepest religious convictions and belief systems, have been developing on their territories and gathering over generations, since time immemorial is proving to be of vital importance in the fight against climate change. While, not so long ago, the prevailing trend within the scientific community was to denigrate and undervalue the potential this knowledge had, for some time now these peoples are beginning to see how their key role in the mitigation and adaptation to this environmental phenomenon is being formally recognized. This research analyzes the evolution, both at the scientific and normative fields, of the recognition of these peoples´ role in the fulfillment of environmental and climatic goals, while raising the challenges that remain to be tackled.
