Objective: To analyze the impacts of climate change on indigenous peoples located in the Amazon biome, specifically the repercussions related to violence and vulnerabilities resulting from such changes. Theoretical Framework: Due to the history of expropriation resulting from colonialism, the colonialities that are perpetuated (Quijano, 1992) and, above all, as a result of the hegemonic model of development, indigenous peoples constitute one of the populations most affected by climate change (Giannini et al. 2023). Method: Integrative literature review, linked to the multicenter research "Climate Change, Indigenous Health and Environmental Migrations in the context of different biomes in Brazil", funded by CNPq. Conducted in the Scopus, Sage and Wiley databases, the time frame was between 2014 and 2024, with a final sample of 17 articles. Results and Discussion: The main forms of violence and vulnerabilities caused by climate change to indigenous peoples in the Amazon were the impacts on food and survival, violation of the rights of these peoples and land grabbing, which has led to the spread of diseases, forced migrations and processes of cultural loss. Addressing these issues requires changing the development model and extractive logic Research Implications: The study provides a basis for the urgency of guaranteeing indigenous rights and recognizing the rights of nature, expanding spaces for evoking indigenous worldviews and their leading role in territorial and environmental management, pointing out possible paths to the sustainability of the planet Originality/Value: The findings provide original insights by highlighting indigenous protagonism as a central element for planetary sustainability, by proposing a paradigm shift that challenges the hegemonic development model and by pointing to alternatives based on climate justice.
