Dr. Hernandez’s research is devoted to incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing (Indigenous science) into climate action to promote the rights and well-being of Indigenous communities. Her research focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on Indigenous communities, developing strategies to protect their rights and interests, and advocating for greater Indigenous participation in the decision-making process.
Dr. Hernandez has recently conducted research on how traditional Indigenous knowledge can be used to develop innovative strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change on Indigenous communities. She has also conducted research on how Indigenous communities can use their traditional knowledge to adapt to the changing climate. Her work has been instrumental in raising awareness of the importance of Indigenous leadership in climate change policy.
Her research strongly intersects with global advocacy, particularly in the Rio Conventions, as she actively promotes the integration of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into international climate change policies and agreements. Through her work, Dr. Hernandez seeks to amplify the voices of Indigenous communities and ensure that they are included in decision-making processes that affect their lands, rights, and well-being.
Indigenous science is a valuable and essential source of knowledge that can contribute significantly to addressing the challenges of climate change. By integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into climate action, Dr. Hernandez's research not only promotes the rights and well-being of Indigenous communities but also enriches our understanding of sustainable and holistic approaches to environmental stewardship, land use planning, and climate solutions.
