Many Indigenous communities around the world are relying on traditional knowledge of the land to recognize and adapt to a changing climate. To uplift and learn from their experiences, CJRF convened representatives of our partner organizations to reflect on how Indigenous Peoples are showing up as leaders in the climate justice movement.
For two weeks in November, Glasgow, Scotland hosted the largest and most important United Nations climate negotiations session since the Paris Agreement in 2015. Called COP26, the conference brought together official representatives of nearly 200 countries, plus thousands of participants from business, academia, and civil society.
As the climate changes, people and societies will need to respond more often to extreme and stressful weather, and will need to strengthen their ability to contend with frequent disruption. People often call this “climate resilience.” On June 15, 2021, CJRF grantee partners convened virtually to explore what "resilience means and critiques of using this word in a panel entitled “Exploring Resilience in the Context of Climate Justice.”
