June 2023 – Canadian Climate Institute and the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources

To amplify and centre Indigenous voices at the cutting-edge of climate research and policy, the Canadian Climate Institute, in partnership with the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, hosted a roundtable discussion on June 15 with the authors of three new case studies in the Indigenous Perspectives series. These case studies showcase the work of Indigenous researchers, Knowledge Holders, water protectors, and community members.

The discussion highlighted how Indigenous self-determination and knowledge are integral to designing effective regional, provincial, territorial, and national climate policies. Panelists also tackled questions of decolonization and unpacked “Two-Eyed Seeing,” a concept where Indigenous and Western knowledge systems can complement one another’s strengths to help inform and create holistic policies for the benefit of all.
