Indigenous Peoples Movements and allies have been calling out colonization as the root cause of the climate crisis for decades. While decolonization is most often associated with Indigenous Peoples, it has become apparent that true decolonization is a collective responsibility.

This press conference will feature voices from Indigenous and allied groups working on decolonizing policy projects in Canada and internationally.
