SUMMARY:After the success of our first webinar, we are excited to invite you to join ICA’s Decolonizing Climate Policy Webinar #2 on September 15, 2021 at 12:30-2pm CST
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE! Join us September 15th for the 2nd webinar on Decolonizing Climate Policy.\nClick here to register ( https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85973763051?pwd=dDBXS3FYakZLYm85RDNEdWFSSmJjQT09 )\nIn March of this year, ICA released our report Decolonizing Climate Policy in Canada. This report outlined an in-depth analysis of recent federal climate plans: the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change (2016) and A Healthy Environment, A Healthy Economy (2020).  In examining these plans, we found that climate policy in Canada is:\n\n\nfailing to drive the scale of climate action that is needed\n\n\nincluding policies that may exacerbate existing economic and social inequalities\n\n\nexcluding Indigenous Peoples from policy-making tables, thereby violating Indigenous rights including our rights to free, prior, and informed consent\n\n\nGiven these failures, Indigenous-led climate policy has become increasingly important to ensure solutions to the climate crisis are both just and effective.\nAs part of this work we have begun Phase Two, led by an Advisory Council, to explore what decolonial climate policies might look and feel like. As part of this work we are launching a webinar series to bring Indigenous voices to the forefronts of these discussions.\nHow are we letting the land speak for itself?\nDismantling the status quo is difficult. But it is achievable if  we look to  our generational knowledge of the land as Indigenous folks. The information is there, as it has always been, through our stories, histories, and relationships we have fostered with our non-human relatives.\n“First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities offer an abundance of teachings, worldviews, alternative livelihoods and economic systems that value interdependence, reciprocity and respect for all life. These are the counterforce to the extractive, exploitative colonial-capitalist systems at the root of the climate crisis. These are the climate solutions that are urgently needed. “\nWhen brainstorming the immense question of who would be on this Advisory Council, the team looked at ways we could counter the problem of “pan-Indigeneity”, and we decided to look to the land itself.  And so, in creating our Advisory Council for the Decolonizing Climate Policy project, we sought out members based on their connection to the land, to represent the five Biomes in so-called Canada – tundra, boreal forest, grassland, temperate deciduous forest, and mountain forest. We also selected one youth representative to raise the voices of the youth in the Council.\nJoin us  on September 15th, at 12:30-2pm CST, in a webinar that will feature spotlight presentations and a discussion with four members of our Decolonizing Climate Policy Advisory Council. They will discuss the impacts of climate change in their communities and Biomes, as well as the Indigenous-led solutions being implemented on the ground.\nOur panelists include members of the Advisory Council:\n\n\nTiffany Traverse from Secwepemc Territory (Mountain Forests biome)\n\n\nPamela Beebe of the Kainai Nation (Grasslands biome)\n\n\nJesse Unaapik Mike from Iqaluit, Nunavut (Tundra/Arctic biome)\n\n\nBryanna Brown is Inuk and Mi’kmaq from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador (Youth representative).\n\n\n
