The Global Council for Science and the Environment & The Land Peace Foundation invite you to join us for the "Indigenous Knowledge & Western Science: Collaboration, Relationship, and Climate Solutions" Online Learning Series.
Learning from one another and building relationships between western science and Indigenous knowledge is an ongoing journey. This series is structured to continue the discussions and collective learning that our community started at the NCSE Drawdown 2021 Conference in January and inspire our next steps together.
In this series, participants will be invited to widen the lens through which they view science, decision-making and climate solutions. The first sessions of this series will cover the history and present of the colonial apparatus, as well as knowledge systems and why they are important. Later sessions will help participants develop meaningful, balanced & ethical partnerships and set goals for practical next steps.
