In this webinar, hosted as part of the Zoryan Institute’s 2022 Climate Change, Human Rights & Genocide Webinar Series, Professor Deborah McGregor examines the relationships between indigenous peoples, rights, and colonialism that perpetuates injustice. She also explains why Indigenous leadership and knowledges are critical for advancing climate justice goals, and how climate impacts render Indigenous communities disproportionally vulnerable (e.g. the disruption of traditional food sources, lack of health infrastructure, barriers to accessing clean water).
Professor Deborah McGregor is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Justice at York University.
This webinar was originally recorded on March 10, 2022.
