Knowledge Centre session Register in the Knowledge Centre. QR code is on page 10. Tuesday, September 16 Climate Adaptation and Indigenous Knowledge 9 a.m. – noon This webinar, led by Janis Brooks, founder of Salishan Solutions, enables registrants and attendees to explore Indigenous worldviews on interconnectivity and how these can inform land-based and climate adaption strategies and will help them identify opportunities to integrate Indigenous perspectives into their personal and professional climate action efforts. “Indigenous Peoples have been adapting to environmental change for generations, guided by deep relationships with land, community, and future generations,” Brooks said. “This session helps connect those teachings to the work engineers and geoscientists do today – offering practical ways to approach climate action and collaboration through a more respectful, informed, and relational lens. It’s also an important part of reconciliation: developing deeper understanding and being open to shifting how we work, learn, and lead together.”
