Climate action takes place in territories and ensures different forms of justice when it involves ancestral and traditional knowledge, solutions, and popular practices, as well as the specificities of each context. How can we mobilize actions to combat climate change with equitable and fair treatment of impacts, considering the territorial dimension of inequalities—where vulnerable communities, especially in high-risk areas and indigenous territories, are most affected? The debate points to ways for philanthropy and public policies to implement local solutions and popular participation, not only to adapt territories to extreme events but also to reduce socio-environmental inequalities and guarantee the human and territorial rights of the most exposed populations.
