Our Gatherings
At Indigenous Climate Action, our top priority is empowering communities, supporting climate change knowledge and encouraging climate action that respects our rights and culture. We are committed to ensuring Indigenous knowledge and wisdom are leading the process. Our goal is to provide our communities and peoples with up to date, relevant information on climate change and the rights of Indigenous people.
Years of experience has taught us that all it takes is one small change to make a big impact!

The first Indigenous Climate Action: Indigenous Peoples’ Meeting on Climate Change was held in January 2016 in the heart of Treaty No. 6, Amiskwaciwâskahikan, Edmonton. This meeting set the stage for Indigenous Climate Action by inviting Indigenous leaders from across Canada to come together to discuss climate change and the unique rights of Indigenous peoples.
Since then ICA has made it a priority to continue engaging Indigenous peoples and ally organizations in hosting events, in person and online. ICA gatherings serve to build community driven organizational direction while bringing Indigenous peoples together to demand our rights are included in climate change solutions.
