ICA’s Climate Leadership program is an online/distance training targeted for Indigenous peoples in so-called Canada who wish to facilitate conversations about climate change with their community or organization.

ICA host a variety of webinars and online learnings regarding our programs, climate justice and emerging issues. These online spaces are made for and by Indigenous peoples to showcase our knowledge and our strengths as leaders in the climate movement

Nature-based Climate Solutions, which may seem like a promising new direction in climate policy, appear to be yet another false solution. For the last century, the colonial governments and industries have sought our lands to extract the oil, mine the minerals, and cut down trees. Now they seek our lands to store the carbon pollution these processes have created and to address the climate crisis that they are responsible for.

Indigenous Climate Action, released an in-depth critical analysis of Canada’s recent climate policy and plans: the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change (PCF) and A Healthy Environment, A Healthy Economy (HEHE). This is the first phase of a two part Decolonizing Climate Policy in Canada project.

The work investigates these plans and the root causes of climate change, while also respectfully and meaningfully including Indigenous Peoples and our rights, knowledges, and approaches to climate action. For more informations check out the Decolonizing Climate Policy webpage.

Our Indigenous Youth Wellness Honorarium is intended for Indigenous Youth engaged in frontline activism and/or climate justice organizing.

By creating this fund we hope to remove some of those barriers that come up when upholding our sacred responsibilities. Check out the Youth Programs page for eligibility criteria to to Apply.
