SUMMARY:The Climate Crisis and First Nations’ Right to Food in Canada
DESCRIPTION:On October 21, 2020, HRW released “‘My Fear is Losing Everything’: The Climate Crisis and First Nations’ Right to Food in Canada.” The 120-page report, documents the experiences of First Nations communities and outlines the ways in which the Canadian government (1) is not adequately supporting First Nations’ efforts to adapt to the mounting climate crisis and (2) is failing to do its part to reduce the global greenhouse gas emissions that are driving it.\nJoin us to hear from one of the authors of the report, as well as community advocates working to protect their people, land and our planet.\nSpeakers\n• Lorraine Netro, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation\nLorraine Netro was born and raised in Old Crow, Yukon. She was taught the traditional and cultural way of life out on the land by her late mother, Mary Netro. She served her people in leadership roles and continues to serve as an advocate for protection of our lands for all future generations.\n• Sam Hunter, Natural Resources and Community Climate Change Monitor, Weenusk First Nation\nBio coming soon\n• Rachel LaFortune, researcher at Human Rights Watch\nRachel is a researcher with the Environment and Human Rights Division at Human Rights Watch where her current work is focused on human rights violations in the context of climate change and environmental health. Before joining Human Rights Watch, Rachel carried out research and advocacy on a number of human rights issues, including the impact of resource development on Indigenous communities’ rights to water, health, and culture in Canada and in Papua New Guinea. Rachel holds a law degree from Columbia Law School and speaks English and French.\nPlease note: this event is public but you are required to register in order to receive the link to participate in the event.
