I have honestly no idea of what they mean by this.
I think it means stop ignoring knowledge coming from formally uneducated people.
Worthy cause, if so

Wouldn't this be more "unformally educated" people? Since they're talking about indigenous people, that have a form of knowledge but that knowledge doesn't fit the "formal knowledge" as in "knowledge of people that go to college or read book"? Though even with that I don't know what it's supposed to mean. That indigenous people will be "sacrificed" because our solutions won't protect their way of living? That's probably true, however I thought that this was always assumed that the neoliberal solutions would be best at protecting the neoliberal societies, and not the other.
My tentative of translation: "Indigenous people's way of life are not taken into account currently when considering solutions to climate change, and I want to change that.". The idea seem noble, but considering how little everyone (individual, companies, "the Establishment", shape-shifting lizards) is doing currently, I don't think indigenous people's way of life is our priority.

The problem is that the signal-to-noise ratio there is very low, and it takes a lot of patience and effort to extract the knowledge.

A worthy goal.
