It explores how Indigenous governance and autonomy drive climate resilience and economic prosperity, including through self-governance agreements, sustainable resource management, and biodiversity protection. Speakers will address policy developments, the duty to consult, and grassroots advocacy. With a strong focus on intergenerational dialogue and inclusive exchange, the session highlights Indigenous-led solutions as essential to achieving climate goals, advancing sustainable development, and shaping just climate futures.
