Indigenous leaders from B.C. take international stage for a climate policy pitch
The conference’s objective is for countries to negotiate global goals for tackling climate change, present their individual plans for contributing to those goals and report on their progress.Grzybowski said he hopes to network and collaborate with other political and Indigenous leaders during the event to find innovative solutions to the crisis.
“ Nations want to develop relationships with other countries. You’re not going to develop those relationships if you’re not out there meeting people.”Candice Wilson, environmental manager for the Haisla Nation, agreed, saying her main goal of attending the conference is to “information share” with political and Indigenous leaders from around the world.
It is scheduled to make a 45-minute presentation at the Canadian Pavilion on Tuesday that Grzybowski said will focus on three key areas: nature-based climate solutions, new energy systems and the importance of Indigenous leadership.
