Are you attending the #UNFSS+4? We invite you to join our special session “The power of #IndigenousPeoples’ #FoodSystems: A call for action and partnerships across coalitions and beyond”. The session will showcase Indigenous-led innovations shaping food futures from the ground up, highlighting how we have long led sustainable food systems rooted in knowledge, culture & reciprocity with nature. This is an invitation to hear from us and partner to work along us.

"When Indigenous communities design climate innovations or map water sources using tools like the #NamunyakApp they are not just adapting—they are creating solutions grounded in relational resilience: collective action, intergenerational knowledge & a shared sense of purpose" 👇

The momentum to transform food systems is unstoppable. At #COP29, @gmunozabogabir, High-Level Climate Champion for COP25, joined over 300 stakeholders—farmers, Indigenous Peoples, businesses, and civil society—in endorsing the Food Systems Call to Action. Together, they highlighted the urgency of sustainable transformation to meet climate, nature, and people’s needs. As we move toward #COP30 in Brazil, the focus shifts to implementation. With milestones like the @UNCCD COP on land restoration and drought resilience, the global community must unite for resilient and equitable food systems.

Georgina’s MSc research on wildfire risk around Indigenous communities in the context of BC’s complex legal objectives (MDWR and OGMAs) is much-needed, and she absolutely crushed her defence today! Really looking forward to seeing this work come out. 🔥
