The Sufficiency Revolution: Ensuring a Just Transition through Indigenous Wisdom, Resilience & Human

"The Sufficiency Revolution: Ensuring a Just Transition through Indigenous
Wisdom, Resilience and Human Rights"

"Session Description:The event focuses on finding nuanced, context-specific solutions to the
complex challenges facing the global built environment, such as climate
change, social inequality, and economic pressures. It aims to address the
overuse of resources in construction, the human rights implications of
decarbonization, and the vulnerability of urban areas and cultural heritage
to climate risks.Central to these solutions is the integration of indigenous knowledge,
emphasizing its value in creating resilient, low-impact, and
community-driven approaches. The event also promotes the concept of
sufficiency—using just enough resources to meet needs sustainably—and
highlights human rights as a guiding principle in designing equitable and
inclusive spaces. By fostering collaboration among experts, policymakers,
and local communities, the event will deliver tailored strategies for
climate-resilient urban development, innovative policy recommendations, and
a catalogue of tools that reflect a commitment to sustainability,
sufficiency, and social justice, ensuring that climate adaptation efforts
uplift vulnerable communities while protecting the environment.See the COP29 Buildings and Cooling Pavilion!"
