Climate Justice
climate justice
We explore the connections between land, water, climate change, and Indigenous health, supporting research that uplifts Indigenous knowledge and environmental stewardship.
Climate change is not only an environmental issue—it is also a matter of self-determination and justice. Indigenous communities often experience the earliest and most severe impacts of climate change, despite contributing the least to global emissions and protecting over 80% of the worlds biodiversity. Our Climate Justice work explores how climate change affects health, culture, water, land, and community well-being.
Land, Water, Health, and Community
For many Indigenous Peoples, land is deeply connected to identity, culture, and health. Environmental disruption can affect traditional food systems, cultural practices, and community resilience. Our research examines these connections and highlights Indigenous knowledge as essential to understanding climate impacts and solutions.
Indigenous-led Solutions
Indigenous communities have long stewarded their ancestral lands and waters, and have sustainable relationships with the environment. This basket of work amplifies Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and leadership in climate action, mitigation, adaptation, and resilience.
Toward Climate Justice and Sovereignty
Through collaboration with communities, researchers, and policy partners, this work contributes to pathways that support environmental justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and healthier futures for generations to come. British Columbia is located on First Nations lands, and it is essential to ensure we operate in a place-based way, engaging with the Nations whose territory we are on and supporting their inherent rights of these lands.
