“Recording of the third Virtual Town Hall for the series ‘Canada’s Sustainable Future – Creating a Digital Action Plan‘ that took place October 6, 2021. Hosted by Future Earth, Sustainability in the Digital Age, and the Canadian Science Policy Centre.
Indigenous-led sustainable development and conservation projects grounded in Indigenous Science and Knowledge offer transformative pathways to address the climate crisis and ongoing inequality. Amidst brilliant successes in Canada, there are also challenges for Indigenous Peoples, including issues around Rights and Responsibilities, scientific and academic data sovereignty, access to broadband connectivity, and inclusion of Indigenous voices in policy change. We will explore the potential of digital technologies in this space to disrupt systems, while fostering constructive dialogue to align Indigenous and non-Indigenous science in various fields and environmentalism. What do we need to do to create more inclusive socio-economic development in Canada?
