Abstract
This chapter will analyse indigenous knowledge's significance in sustainability for climate change. There is a pattern that demonstrates that there are connections between bigger life systems and other causes or occurrences which require constant engagement with nature and generational knowledge. Indigenous peoples employed totems, symbols, and messages to transmit their understanding of natural phenomena, causes, repercussions, and conservation measures. The study examines the use of digital ethnography to maintain both knowledge and experiences. The research also aims to bring new insights into systemic thinking and philosophical elements that influence ethical actions. In the name of globalisation, place-based contextual issues have been marginalised, reducing the local value that is distinctive to geographical places. The theory of change (TOC) informs here with an in-depth understanding of the philosophical concepts and systemic thinking.
