First Nations business group touts Indigenous-led climate solutions

THUNDER BAY – The federal government needs to invest in Indigenous-led “nature-based solutions” to address climate change, says Jason Rasevych.

At a Nature United conference in Ottawa, the association called for the federal government to allocate at least $1 billion of its Indigenous loan-guarantee program to “Indigenous-led nature-based climate solutions.” “And this is what we're after here: a stronger commitment from government and from the public and all public companies and also private investors to see more prioritization and resourcing go towards Indigenous-led nature-based solutions.”
