The loss of biodiversity due to climate change is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. As global temperatures rise, ecosystems and species are being forced to adapt, migrate, or face extinction. Climate change alters the delicate balance that sustains biodiversity, leading to a cascade of negative effects across the planet. This gathering will explore ways in which Indigenous principles can be used to develop a response to biodiversity loss caused by human actions. An essential aspect of this series is to reveal the benefits of Two-Eyed Seeing and how and where it is being successfully implemented to create and sustain ethical space. With an emphasis on pragmatic training, protocols and practices are needed to demonstrate the viability of Indigenous partnerships.

The conference goal is to create Ethical Space for the engagement of ideas and inspiration as we live within a new ecological scenario exacerbated by climate change.
