The conference will bring together Indigenous communities and organizations as well as national and international thought leaders to explore and discuss strategies to effectively manage the cumulative effects resulting from changes to the environment or to the human well-being from past, present, and future development projects and human activities.
Grounded in Indigenous perspectives and worldviews, the conference will highlight community-based experiences and best practices to address the cumulative effects of human activities relative to the environmental, cultural, social and health aspects of communities.
The conference will also provide updates on the activities on the Indigenous Centre for Cumulative Effects since the Indigenous Forum on Cumulative Effects held on Blackfoot territory in February 2020.
