  • Nov 12 - Indigenous Climate Leadership Day at the Canada Pavilion

Assembly of First Nations

In the face of a rapidly changing climate, First Nations have been raising their voice to call for rapid decarbonization, raising the profile of what First Nations Climate Leadership means. Last July, this was captured in the AFN National Climate Strategy, mapping a path, through seven priority areas, to uplift First Nations climate solutions. This panel brings together presentations by First Nations at the national and provincial level to discuss the implications of this Strategy, and highlight how First Nations are ‘active leaders’ based on unique connections to the land, water, air, and more-than-human beings.
