Tuesday 5:15 PM - 6:15 PM
  • Nov 12 - Indigenous Climate Leadership Day at the Canada Pavilion

Centre for Indigenous Knowledge and Languages

We are uplifting the voices of Indigenous climate leaders by sharing stories of sovereignty and self-determination in climate action. We focus stories from Indigenous women, youth, 2SLGBTQIAP+ folks, knowledge holders, Elders, and policy experts. Our research team has gathered insights from a diverse range of Indigenous climate leaders. These leaders range from seasoned advocates for Indigenous rights at the international level to youth discovering their voices in the climate crisis within their communities. Indigenous peoples are at the forefront of climate leadership. We have invited Indigenous policy experts, activists, and intellectuals to showcase the work they are doing on a national and international scale. The panel will provide expert Indigenous perspectives on climate change and decolonial solutions.
