Abstract
As reported by World Bank figures, in 2020, there were about 476 million indigenous people living in more than 90 countries around the world. They represented more than 6 % of the world's population. Approximately 15 % of these indigenous people lived in conditions of extreme poverty, facing economic disparity and chronic vulnerability [36]. This review analyzes the risks faced by indigenous communities due to climate change and their perception of risk. Hazards are identified in different regions, considering direct and indirect impacts on territories, resources and ways of life.
