Advancing Indigenous Climate Leadership: Lessons from First Nations, Inuit, and the Métis Nation

In the face of a rapidly changing climate, Indigenous Peoples have been raising their voice to call for rapid decarbonization, raising the profile of what Indigenous Climate Leadership means. This 75-minute panel brings together presentations by First Nations, Inuit, and the Métis Nation to highlight how Indigenous Peoples in Canada are not only uniquely experiencing climate impacts, but also uniquely well-positioned to develop strategies that address the climate crisis. This will challenge conventional conceptualizations of Indigenous Peoples as ‘vulnerable’ populations and the ‘passive recipients’ of climate impacts, instead framing them as ‘active leaders’ based on unique connections to the land, water, air, and more-than-human beings.
