Inviting Indigenous Peoples, Communities, and Organizations to Join the Indigenous Climate Hub Members Network

February 21, 2023

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Ontario—The Indigenous Climate Hub is pleased to announce the official launch of the Indigenous Climate Hub Members Network. This online network was created for Indigenous Peoples, communities, and organizations to share Indigenous climate change news, projects, and initiatives. Like popular social media websites, Indigenous Peoples can network and connect with other online Indigenous members, share news articles and resources on climate change, and join and participate in online Indigenous groups and forums.

What makes this online network unique is that it is 100% dedicated to addressing the climate change challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples and communities in Canada. Our members include: First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples; climate change leaders; Knowledge Keepers and Elders; and community members—all working towards climate change adaptation in Indigenous communities and territories. By sharing, connecting, and collaborating, we can take on climate change challenges as a collective. Together, we are stronger, wiser, and resilient. To learn more about what you can do on the Indigenous Climate Hub Members Network, or to register as a member, please visit: https://indigenousclimatehub.ca/members-network.
