Description:

The Indigenous Climate Action Partnership project is an Inuit-led initiative that aims to increase the resilience of Indigenous Peoples in developing countries to climate change. The project supports partnerships between Inuit and Indigenous Peoples abroad, encourage shared learning and mutual support in climate adaptation work, and build long-term advocacy skills. Immersive, on-the-land (sea and ice) knowledge exchanges helps to integrate sustainable, nature- and land-based solutions to climate change into the climate change adaptation strategies of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous youth. The project creates a network of Indigenous leaders who can share knowledge, develop scalable nature-based solutions, and advocate for their communities in global climate forums. The project, led by Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) Canada, is carried out in partnership with other ICC offices, likely Greenland and Alaska, and Indigenous Peoples from developing countries. The project aligns with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Project activities include: (1) designing a training program to increase Indigenous climate leadership for youth and integrate Indigenous Knowledge systems into local climate actions; (2) promoting climate advocacy in local, national, and international climate negotiations; (3) creating opportunities, especially for youth, for shared learning and implementation of Indigenous-led nature-based solutions and traditional land-use practices; (4) facilitating the integration of climate solutions into community climate change adaptation strategies; (5) training in negotiation skills and leadership for Indigenous climate leaders to advocate in local, national and international climate and biodiversity negotiations; and (6) providing tools for participants to implement climate actions in their communities.
