First Nations Climate Initiative

Implementing climate solutions that have domestic & international implications. FNCI helped establish the First Nations led organization K’uul Power which is advancing co-ownership and expedited development of renewable energy transmission & generation infrastructure to support decarbonization of the western Canadian economy and establishment of a Green Shipping Corridor from Canada across the Pacific to Asia & the Middle East. FNCI & partners are pursuing decarbonization pathways in Asia for western Canadian LNG, Hydrogen, and hydrogen derived fuels like ammonia. This project is engaging Canadian suppliers with Asian customers in development of potential trading opportunities. Halfway River First Nation’s implementation of Indigenous Nature-Based Solutions is recovering ecosystems in First Nations Territories to support culturally important values and to protect and restore globally significant carbon sinks.
