Métis National Council

Description

As one of the three National Indigenous Organizations of Canada, the Métis National Council has been tireless in its efforts to actualize climate adaptation and mitigation solutions that are equitable, inclusive and effective. The Métis cultural identity is profoundly linked to stewardship of the land and our connection with the land. Climate change does not only impact our food security, health, safety and livelihoods but it directly impacts how we connect with our communities, culture and history. Despite the impacts of climate change, Métis identity, culture and communities hold climate solutions that can provide climate solutions domestically and abroad.

This panel will include representation from across the Métis Homelandto discuss how climate impacts different communities and identities throughout the diverse Métis Nation. Panelists will discuss the historical and contemporary Métis stewardship of the lands, skies, waters, and animals of the Métis Homeland. Our panel of experts will discuss programs that bring community, research, and climate action together to monitor and adapt at home, in community and abroad.

We invite you to join us as our panelists share how our culture of adaptation, stewardship, collaboration and sustainability is creating and actualizing Indigenous climate leadership.
