Though it is often said that climate change is a risk to people's well-being, the specific ways in which it affects people's well-being is still poorly understood, especially as it relates to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Two interrelated issues contribute to this gap in knowledge: (1) the use of different conceptualizations of well-being across disciplines; and (2) the limited use of local and context-specific understandings of well-being that are meaningful to people exposed to climate change. Here, we review 103 articles covering the topic of climate change adaptation and well-being. We find that, despite the growing interest on the topic, most of the articles do not include definitions of well-being. We then propose an approach informed by emic values to better understand how climate change may affect well-being in Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. We conclude that, given the increasing recognition of well-being as a fundamental marker of successful adaptation, well-being should be central to climate change research and policymaking, but for this to be of benefit to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities context-specific understandings of well-being are necessary.

对土著福祉和气候变化适应的看法

尽管人们常说气候变化对人民福祉构成威胁，但人们对气候变化影响人民福祉的具体方式仍知之甚少，特别是当它与土著人民和当地社区相关时。两个相互关联的问题造成了这种知识差距：（1）跨学科对福祉的不同概念的使用；(2) 对受气候变化影响的人们有意义的当地和具体情况的福祉理解的运用有限。在此，我们回顾了 103 篇涉及气候变化适应和福祉主题的文章。我们发现，尽管人们对该主题的兴趣日益浓厚，但大多数文章并未包含幸福感的定义。然后，我们提出了一种基于主流价值观的方法，以更好地了解气候变化如何影响土著人民和当地社区的福祉。我们的结论是，鉴于人们越来越认识到福祉是成功适应的基本标志，福祉应该成为气候变化研究和政策制定的核心，但要使这一点有益于土著人民和当地社区对具体情况的理解的福祉是必要的。
