Description

Why is LANDBACK, Indigenous led-conservation, and co-management of lands and water critical for advancing climate adaptation and justice?

In this panel, NDN Collective will share examples of LANDBACK in action and how these models are contributing to climate adaptation, regenerative economies and protection of biodiversity. Whether it’s climate disaster recovery or protecting sacred lands from mineral extraction, LANDBACK is not only a solution but a way to adapt to our changing ecosystems, providing safety and pathways forward.

Join us to learn what LANDBACK is and to hear stories about how this Indigenous frontline led

movement and call to action has shifted the conditions for how we are engaging with development, policy, philanthropy, corporations and government.

LANDBACK is more than just a demand, it is a tangible way to how we achieve climate action and justice for all peoples. Our panelists look forward to sharing lessons learned, success stories and some of the forward facing visioning they are holding for how we utilize LANDBACK as a catalyst for achieving our climate goals in North America and beyond.

In this panel speakers will share stories and showcase how #LANDBACK exists and is being led in various regions of the world as a strategy to build Indigenous power, advance equity and justice and combat the climate crisis. We know that Indigenous Peoples across the world manage 80% of the world's biodiversity, thus signaling how key Indigenous leadership and knowledge is in mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis. Indigenous-led conservation and land management practices are not novel ideas to solve today's largest ecological problems, but rather, tried and true strategies that deserves investment and support from private and public sectors.
