Event Description
Climate change is a global phenomenon. However, its effects vary by region, ecosystem, and cultural groups, placing different communities at the forefront of changing global climates. Whether through increasing pressures on environmental and cultural adaptation strategies or increasing requests for collaborations by outside researchers, Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of these changes. To discuss the unique climate demands, challenges, and hopes facing Indigenous Peoples, join an interactive conversation with five Indigenous thought leaders and community members from Papua New Guinea and Canada.
