This is another webinar on Indigenous Resistance to Climate False Solutions. It was co-sponsored by the New School in New York City with the Indigenous Environmental Network as key organizer. This webinar is about fighting climate change from the grassroots and within indigenous communities in Canada, the Pacific Islands and the US.
Jacqueline Patterson is the Founder and Executive Director of the Chisholm Legacy Project, a resource hub for Black Frontline Climate Justice Leadership. Before that Patterson served as the Senior Director of the NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program for over a decade.
Eriel Deranger was a founding member of Indigenous Climate Action (ICA) in Canada and spent two years as interim director. She is challenging fossil fuel development and championing the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Moneka De Oro is Just Transition Fellow with MCCA, the Micronesia Climate Change Alliance. She is working on information on climate justice, food sovereignty, disaster preparedness, energy democracy, traditional island knowledge, and zero waste.
Jacqui, Eriel and Moneka discover that their common experience in opposing climate change is based in the need to recognize and fight false solutions.
The moderator is Ananda Tan. He is North America coordinator for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives.
They all value the free booklet: Hoodwinked in the Hothouse, RESIST FALSE SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. It is a living document of decades of experience updated just recently in preparation for COP26, the climate conference in Glasgow.
The 42 page pamphlet can be downloaded for free at https:/climatefalsesolutions.org/
Jacqui Patterson, Eriel Deranger, and Moneka De Oro had much more to say – so you can look forward to one more installment of their exchange on the next broadcast of TUC Radio.
The full program was streamed Live on Sep 21, 2021, and is posted on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_zq_GyW-kc
