With climate-related crises in the news almost daily, it can be easy to feel that there are no solutions. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Indigenous peoples are among those that contribute the least to the climate crisis yet are impacted the most through the loss of lands, waterways, and changing weather patterns. They are also structurally excluded in the political discourse and policy processes that combat the effects of climate change. Despite this suppression of rights and decision-making authority, many Indigenous communities have demonstrated significant leadership on climate action.

Although much of the climate debate focuses on individuals, research clearly shows that the deep, lasting, and effective solutions to climate impacts come from community level collaboration and the bonds this work creates. This course explores the importance of building community and the ways you can mobilize community to build resilience. Designed for people working in a wide range of community and organizational contexts, this course will give you practical tools to organize the support you and others in your community need to sustain collective climate action.

Equitable and effective climate action must, by definition, centre the people and communities that are most vulnerable to climate impacts. But organizations are often juggling multiple priorities and financial constraints alongside their climate planning, and equity and justice can take a back seat. This course will help you navigate and address those tensions. You'll sharpen your understandings of climate justice and learn how to design more equitable and resilient climate solutions.
