Southern Ivorian villages face significant climate change impacts such as erratic rainfall patterns and increased frequency of droughts and floods. A qualitative comparative analysis with case studies from Southern Ivorian villages and Egyptian agricultural communities. The theoretical framework highlights the potential for IKs in enhancing climate change adaptation strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings like Southern Ivorian villages and Egyptian agricultural communities. Implementing this framework requires fostering collaborative research partnerships between local communities, NGOs, and academic institutions to ensure culturally appropriate and context-specific solutions are developed.
