Traditional Knowledge, Peripheral Communities, and Climate Justice
Abstract
The impacts of climate change are not equally distributed—this is particularly evident when we examine traditional and historically marginalized communities in Brazil. Drawing from archaeological, historical, and ethnographic perspectives, two case studies—the Quilombola Community of Camburi in Ubatuba (São Paulo) ( Carvalho et al., 2024 ) and the Guató Indigenous Community of Barra do São Lourenço in the Pantanal (Mato Grosso do Sul)—reveal how environmental injustice is compounded by colonial legacies and structural racism ( Carvalho, 2007 ).
