In Togo, the impacts of climate change are visible and have been demonstrated by numerous scientific studies since the 1970s. They primarily consist of rising temperatures, decreasing rainfall, violent winds, increased evaporation, and more. Producers are struggling to adapt to these changes, which undermine their understanding of climate and the laws of nature. The objective of this study is to identify the indigenous knowledge used by the populations of the Kabyè region to enhance resilience to climate change. A field survey was conducted to compile this indigenous knowledge in order to identify the most effective practices. The results of the study reveal a rich diversity of indigenous knowledge that could play a crucial role in adapting to the effects of climate change. These traditional knowledges, rooted in local experience, include innovative agricultural practices, strategies for managing natural resources, and water conservation techniques, all designed to strengthen community resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions. Data analysis indicates that applying this knowledge could not only mitigate the impacts of climate change but also promote sustainable agriculture and improve food security. By integrating these knowledges into adaptation policies and programs, it is possible to create more effective approaches tailored to local realities. Thus, this indigenous knowledge represents a valuable asset to help the populations of the Kabyè region navigate the challenges posed by climate change.
