Indigenous Knowledge and Pluriversal Foresight for Global Sustainability Governance
PLURIVISION explores how Indigenous knowledge and futures thinking can contribute to more just and inclusive sustainability governance. The project develops the concept of Pluriversal Foresight, which places Indigenous visions of the future at the centre of global debates on biodiversity and climate resilience. It has three main objectives. First, it will assess the state of the art on Indigenous futures and identify how they are currently overlooked in foresight and governance frameworks. Second, it will conduct co-creative fieldwork with the Poyanawa community in the Brazilian Amazon, using the Atsa Indigenous Festival as a setting to understand ancestral visions of sustainability. Third, it will translate these insights into practical guidance and policy tools for international science-policy platforms, including the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. By combining systematic review, ethnographic and arts-based methods, and participatory foresight, PLURIVISION will generate new conceptual, methodological, and policy contributions. The project directly supports EU priorities on biodiversity protection, climate resilience, and epistemic justice, and advances a transdisciplinary approach to sustainability transitions rooted in Indigenous visions of planetary care.
