Civil society plays a critical role in driving climate action, both within Canada and at the global level. As climate impacts become more frequent and severe, the need for action is clearer than ever – as are the solutions. Climate Action Network – Réseau action climat Canada (CAN-Rac) is the country’s largest network of organizations working on climate and energy issues, with over 160 members from coast to coast to coast. Join us for a conversation between our membership and a high-level representative of the Canadian government, moderated by CAN-Rac’s Executive Director Caroline Brouillette. This will be an opportunity to exchange ideas and questions on how Canada can play a constructive role in international negotiations – and on the work that needs to be done at home for a faster, fairer energy transition that protects people and planet.
Climate change is detrimental to human health and has disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations. The Red River Métis rely on the land for hunting, fishing, trapping, and gathering. Impacts of environmental changes can be observed on-the-land through the disruption of hunting and game migration patterns, changes in fish populations, melting of permafrost, lower crop yields, and the loss of traditional foods and medicine, all of which impact food security. Our event hopes to inspire climate action by showcasing the work underway the Red River Métis to help tackle environmental changes to the land that have impacted Red River Métis identity, livelihoods, and traditional ways of life. We aim to inspire other Nations to be inclusive, showing that Indigenous Knowledge is a key factor in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

This event will focus on best practices in climate communication surrounding the COPs, with a particular emphasis on COP29. International experts from the UK, France, Canada, and Quebec will discuss strategies for fostering sustainable civil society mobilization for climate action. The roundtable will address communication challenges related to the COPs, the risks of “climate resignation,” and ways to maximize the impact of post-COP communications. The discussion aims to spark a dialogue on developing a social mandate for ecological transition, inspired by both local and international efforts.
