At a pivotal moment for the climate, how does Indigenous leadership offer collaborative pathways for rethinking our relationship with and responsibilities to the environment, thus guiding our efforts towards equitable, sustainable, and innovative solutions? This Big Thinking panel will centre Indigenous approaches for addressing the crisis, through climate activism and sustainable energy, rooted in land back movements, decolonization, and energy literacy. Setting forth diverse models of togetherness, panelists will examine how visionary climate approaches informed by Indigenous ways of knowing can drive systemic change and foster collective action that addresses the climate crisis in personally, societally, culturally, and politically healthy ways.
