This new, open-access transdisciplinary journal Culture, Climate and<br>
Change: Biocultural Systems and Livelihoods aims to critically engage<br>
with and disseminate biocultural approaches to understanding and<br>
responding to climate change and global change processes.<br>
<br>
The journal puts into practice the �epistemic bridging� that lies at the<br>
heart of indigenous peoples� biocultural understanding of territory,<br>
community, climate and ecosystems through sharing across practice based<br>
learning, research findings and conceptual papers.<br>
<br>
A feature of this first issue will be a section on REDD and REDD+. We<br>

between the rights of forest dwelling indigenous peoples and climate<br>
change mitigation mechanisms for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation<br>
and Forest Degradation (REDD).<br>

A new journal of biocultural systems & livelihoods:<br>
<br>
Climate change is perhaps the biggest challenge that communities and<br>
ecosystems across the world face today. Indigenous peoples and local<br>
communities living in biodiverse and fragile ecosystems of the planet<br>
are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their<br>
direct reliance on local, natural systems for their livelihoods,<br>
well-being and cultural expressions. Paradoxically, they also<br>
potentially hold vital knowledge, gained through co-evolutionary<br>
relationships with the natural systems that have enabled their survival<br>
and resilience. Understanding climate change, its impacts on local and<br>
global systems, and potential solutions requires touching upon concerns<br>
of how to link the social to the environmental within a framework of<br>
equity and justice. It requires dialogue across scales from the local to<br>
the global. Holistic approaches, such as indigenous and biocultural<br>
approaches offer potential avenues for understanding the challenge and<br>
building appropriate solutions.<br>
<br>
This new, open-access transdisciplinary journal Culture, Climate and<br>
Change: Biocultural Systems and Livelihoods aims to critically engage<br>
with and disseminate biocultural approaches to understanding and<br>
responding to climate change and global change processes.<br>
<br>
The journal puts into practice the �epistemic bridging� that lies at the<br>
heart of indigenous peoples� biocultural understanding of territory,<br>
community, climate and ecosystems through sharing across practice based<br>
learning, research findings and conceptual papers.<br>
<br>
In light of a commitment to building epistemological bridges between<br>
different knowledge systems, the journal will use an open peer review<br>
process which aims to promote an environment of cooperation, knowledge<br>
exchange and networking between authors and reviewers of the journal<br>
community.<br>
