Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change (IHACC) established a multinational interdisciplinary team from Canada, Uganda, and Peru to develop an understanding of the health dimensions of climate change for Indigenous populations. Research goals underpin intervention objectives towards empowering Indigenous peoples’ capacity to adapt to the health effects of climate change. Major knowledge translation / knowledge sharing workshops were held in all project locations (Peru, Arctic, and Uganda) bringing together researchers, students, community members and leaders, partner and civil society organizations, as well as government officials and decision-makers. The report provides a bibliography of research outputs.
