Abstract
People who encountered and survived from disasters depend on their resiliency from
their indigenous knowledge and adaptation to impacts of climate change. This study through
inductive grounded theory explains the indigenous knowledge of farmers and fishers towards
climate change resiliency. It was found out that many of these people derive their resiliency by
clinging to their old belief systems, community refuge and strong faith of divine protection.
Analyses of this knowledge established theory for climate change adaptation and mitigation..
