| Abstract: | The research study conducted by this thesis investigates whether the traditions of Greenlandic Inuit culture are and promote sustainable practices, in the context of a changing climate. Founded on a systematic literature review and a qualitative content analysis, the research aims to understand how indigenous knowledge and cultural practices shape sustainability. Indeed, the research explores Greenlandic Inuit’s lifestyle, development, adaptation, and familiarisation to sustainability. Hence, by accessing a diverse range of literary and academic resources through search engines, the data collecting process was realised via quoting and coding of text. Moreover, the main identified issue revealed along the systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis, is the constant development the indigenous culture is undergoing given the climate consequences influencing their traditional savoir- faire. Additionally, even if the Greenlandic Inuit community undertakes adaptive strategies, they struggle to be seen, heard, and valued as a community engaged against rising climate change. |
