Climate Justice. Indigenous-led.
Indigenous Climate Action (ICA) is an Indigenous-led organization guided by a diverse group of Indigenous knowledge keepers, water protectors and land defenders from communities and regions across the country. We believe that Indigenous Peoples’ rights and knowledge systems are critical to developing solutions to the climate crisis and achieving climate justice.
ICA’s Executive Director, Eriel Deranger, has been selected for the 2024 Climate Breakthrough Award. This prestigious program provides individuals with substantial, flexible, non-directive, multiyear support to develop, launch, and scale their boldest new work with breakthrough potential to address climate change.
Eriel will use the investment to launch a global initiative to support effective and resourced participation of Indigenous peoples in global climate negotiations and decision-making processes.
