The aim of the research is to develop an inclusive approach to climate law-making process recognizing the role of Indigenous knowledge to fight against climate change. The research takes a critical standpoint from the Third World Approach to International Law (TWAIL). 

The results from the research would highlight Arctic Indigenous peoples’ importance in advancing climate change law for further inclusion of Arctic Indigenous peoples in regional, national and international efforts in climate decision making. The analysis of the empirical data and literature will contribute to advancing academic arguments for such inclusion. The knowledge from the research will be of use for developing strategies, promoting agenda for future climate regulations, laws and creating awareness for wider audiences as the results will be published in reputed, open access journals.
