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

Inuit Circumpolar Council

This event will look at the crucial role of Indigenous leadership and Indigenous Knowledge in shaping effective mitigation and adaptation strategies across the circumpolar Arctic which is currently warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet. This session will explore how Indigenous Knowledge offers invaluable insights for tackling climate change and fostering sustainable development. As Parties develop their National Adaptation Plans and update their Nationally Determined Contributions, experts and Indigenous leaders will share perspectives on integrating Indigenous Knowledge into mitigation and adaptation initiatives, leading their own strategies, and demonstrating how this collaboration enhances resilience and ensures more equitable solutions. By highlighting successful case studies and ongoing partnerships, the event will underscore the indispensable contributions of Indigenous Peoples to crafting adaptive and future-ready strategies in the Arctic.
