Indigenous Pacific Approaches to Climate Change

Lyn Carter is Senior Lecturer in Te Tumu (the School of Māori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies) at the University of Otago, New Zealand.

“Readers from social and cultural anthropology, indigenous studies and other related disciplines interested in the topic of climate change will find Lyn Carter’s study an interesting read. … The combination of institutional analysis and information from case studies provides interesting insights to both scholars, indigenous people, and policymakers in New Zealand, Oceania, and beyond.” (Lena Borlinghaus, Anthropological Notebooks, Vol. 25 (1), 2019)
