A great read from former Seneca Environmental team member Hanna Sheridan! Every company interested in authentic climate action should take note. As she notes, "To effectively tackle the challenges of the energy transition, companies must shift from box-checking compliance to creating real partnerships with Indigenous and marginalized communities. Engaging stakeholders as a mere formality is no longer enough. Companies must foster genuine collaboration where the voices of those impacted are not only heard but acted upon.... True progress occurs when companies follow through on their commitments, demonstrating tangible results that benefit all stakeholders, especially those whose land and livelihoods are most affected." Hanna's words convey what we're all about at Seneca Environmental, and we couldn't agree more. #climateaction #ESG #Nativecommunities #Indigenouspeoples #energytransition #justtransition

'Indigeneity, Culture and the UN Sustainable Development Goals,' by Dominic O’Sullivan, is the first scholarly book to examine the UN Sustainable Development Goals from an indigenous perspective, specifically, with reference to the right to self-determination.

Interesting article!

Johan Rockström explains very well what the limits of our planet are. Within these limits is where we can operate safely. Today humanity is reaching and even surpassing these limits, and irreversible changes could occur. It is crucial that each individual takes measures to reduce their impact on the environment and contribute to the sustainability of the planet. From small daily actions to more significant changes in policies and business practices, we all have a role to play in protecting our shared home, Earth.

"We can’t think and work limited by boundaries and borders because everything is interconnected." Dr. Annisa Triyanti's work focuses on disaster governance and climate risk for sustainability. How do coastal communities in the Global South perceive climate change and its interrelation with their cultural heritage? We spoke to her about 'slow science', her research and how the university and the faculty can improve when it comes to collaborating with the Global South.

Indigenous knowledge is embedded in community practices, rituals, and relationships. As a living knowledge, it is holistic, contextual, and relational. Learning about indigenous wisdom is vital because it provides insight into sustainable living and cohabitation with nature. Including indigenous knowledge improves environmental governance and benefits society in general. As an invited speaker, I discussed my recent SSHRC postdoctoral study on climate change and how Indigenous knowledge and care for the land might help us identify answers while also decolonizing our thoughts and daily actions.
