It is said that we only have the next decade to radically transform our relationship to nature in orderto prevent a climate crisis on a planetary scale (IPCC 2019). Whilst much is often made of the idea thatnations need to orientate societal practices towards climate mitigation, the dominant orthodoxyshaping climate policy frameworks is the belief that a climate solution can be found through a plannedalignment of state and capital interests. In December 2019, at the 25th UN Climate Change Conference(COP 25), world leaders, however, witnessed condemnation of the marketisation of solutions andclimate capitalism. Due to the accompanying erasure of human rights legislation, specificallythreatening indigenous groups in statute drafts, an unprecedented set of indigenous protestsoccurred, leading to the eviction of indigenous activists and NGOs. The message was clear: climatecapitalism is eclipsing indigenous voice. In the wake of COP 25, indigenous leaders have condemnedthe UN process as failing to address the urgency of the climate crisis, and as 'taking up space with falsesolutions'.This study explores the making and politics of knowledge, which is a key concern in Science andTechnology Studies (STS), and my investigation speaks directly to indigenous knowledge productionby exploring the 'Indigenous Paradigm'. In this research, the Indigenous Paradigm refers to indigenouspractices which reduce climate vulnerabilities whilst enabling cultures to flourish, and simultaneouslyarticulating a denunciation of capitalist solutions to climate change. My research will explore howthese practices might be seen as 'prefigurative', that is, representing a fundamental transformation in

据说，我们只有在接下来的十年里从根本上改变我们与自然的关系，以防止全球范围内的气候危机（IPCC 2019）。虽然人们常常认为各国需要将社会实践转向减缓气候变化，但主导的正统气候政策框架是相信通过国家和资本利益的有计划的协调可以找到气候解决方案。然而，2019年12月，在第25届联合国气候变化大会（COP 25）上，世界领导人却目睹了对解决方案市场化和气候资本主义的谴责。由于人权立法随之被删除，特别是在法规草案中威胁土著群体，发生了一系列前所未有的土著抗议，导致土著活动人士和非政府组织被驱逐。传达的信息很明确：气候资本主义正在让原住民的声音黯然失色。在第 25 届缔约方会议之后，土著领导人谴责联合国进程未能解决气候危机的紧迫性，并且“用错误的解决方案占据了空间”。本研究探讨了知识的制造和政治，这是科学技术研究 (STS) 的一个关键问题，而我的调查通过探索“土著范式”直接涉及土著知识的生产。在这项研究中，土著范式指的是减少气候脆弱性、同时使文化繁荣的土著实践，同时谴责资本主义应对气候变化的解决方案。我的研究将探讨如何将这些实践视为“象征性”，即代表了
