How Indigenous Knowledges Create Positive Climate Futures
How Indigenous Knowledges Create Positive Climate Futures
Session ID#: 161354
Session Description:
In this time of climate crisis, an Indigenous-inspired vision of a just and sustainable future can offer hope and guide positive, ethical actions.
We propose a Union Session of invited Indigenous scholars with expertise in how Indigenous knowledge can help the earth science community work toward a just climate future. An interactive, moderated discussion, with robust opportunities for audience participation, will explore questions like:
- How do Indigenous perspectives help us understand the present climate crisis, its roots, and ways forward?
- What do equitable, respectful partnerships between Indigenous and scientific communities look like?
- How can non-Indigenous scientists use western-centric conceptions of science to support Indigenous communities?
Our panel will include a gender-balanced group of International Indigenous scholars across diverse career stages and paths.
