WHAT:
This presentation focuses on Indigenous rights and sovereignty within the context of carbon markets, including the implications of carbon pricing mechanisms for the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of Indigenous Nations and communities. There will also be discussions regarding the risks associated with carbon sequestering and the likelihood that such practices will result in further theft of Indigenous lands.
