WATCH | 3-Part JT Webinar Series: Part Two - Keepin’ It Clean
Indigenous Climate Action (ICA) and Sacred Earth Solar (SES) are excited to share our online learning series, where we will begin to unpack the Just Transition Guide, released last fall in 2023. In this 3-part webinar series, we will facilitate open and informative conversations around Indigenous-led Just Transitions, renewable energies and project implementation, and policy considerations for a Just Transition (JT). Together, we can create the climate justice frameworks that are necessary for the complete and equitable phase out of fossil fuels that are currently worsening this climate crisis.
In the second part, Keepin’ It Clean, we discuss our approaches to JT project creation & how they differ from mainstream methods. Touching on the difference between First Nations owned & Community-led projects, getting youth engaged, and the good, bad, & UGLY of mainstream Just Transition, we begin to unravel ways we can create projects rooted in relationship with Mother Earth.
