The federal government is announcing the creation of a new network that will help support Indigenous-led environmental initiatives.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault made the announcement today at the United Nations COP15 meeting in Montreal.
He said the First Nations National Guardians Network will build on the Indigenous guardians program, which has funded some 170 individual Indigenous-led projects since 2018.The director of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative said the structure will help to strengthen relationships between Indigenous communities and help them work together on projects to protect the environment and fight climate change.
Valérie Courtois told reporters that the network will operate as a not-for-profit corporation, and its mandate will include creating a governance structure that will establish what it means to be a guardian.
