Invitation to Join a Critical Conversation about Indigenous-Led Climate Solutions in Canada: Scaling Indigenous Pathways to Nature-Based Solutions
25 September 2024 - 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM EST
Join us for a compelling panel session exploring how Indigenous nations and organizations across Canada are championing nature-based climate solutions. These solutions are not only environmentally transformative but are also guided by Indigenous Peoples' inherent responsibility to care for the land.
The session will delve into the importance of recognizing Indigenous governance and the need for long-term, secure financial support to ensure the success of these initiatives.
Voices from across Turtle Island:
- Judy da Silva - Grassy Narrows First Nation
- Sam Whiteye - Eelünapéewi Lahkéewiit & Carolinian Canada
- Jason Rasevych - Ginoogaming First Nation
- Yamide Dagnet - Senior Vice President, NDRC International Program (Moderator)
While Indigenous communities are on the front lines of climate impacts, they are also the key to preserving much of the world’s biodiversity. Their innovative, decolonized approaches to conservation offer a pathway to climate solutions that honor both the land and Indigenous sovereignty.
Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leaders driving these critical efforts and explore how we can scale these solutions to address the global climate crisis.
