More information about the Toolkit and workshop:

Deep down, most of us feel like the climate movement is stuck and even worse, that we’re losing ground. Despite raging wildfires, droughts and other climate disasters, more Canadians are turning to false solutions1. It’s clear that we need to rethink our approaches and find more powerful ways forward.

In recent years, Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGOs) have started to recognize what Indigenous people have been saying for decades: the driving causes of the climate crisis are colonialism, capitalism and extractivism. However, in grassroots and frontline communities, these acknowledgements from ENGOs have often felt opportunistic and hollow, paying lip service to a moral obligation, but not making the material changes that would make a difference.

In some cases, ENGOs perpetuate colonial relations that harm trust building and undermine Indigenous movements. For those looking to take real steps to decolonize your approaches and to meaningfully support Indigenous movements, this tool kit and workshop are here to guide you.

If Canada’s climate movement fully got behind this vision, it could be a major game changer. Decolonizing climate action is not just the right thing to do, but it is how we, together, become powerful enough to win.”
