🌍 How does climate change shape migration and displacement? What does it mean to belong in a changing world?

In this session, we’ll center our own migration stories (personal or ancestral) and our responsibilities both to our ancestral and our present homes. We'll explore the intersections of climate change, migration, and diaspora and examine how climate change impacts people differently across borders.

Through storytelling and mapping exercises, we’ll connect our personal histories to global environmental shifts—building a deeper understanding of climate migration and resilience.

Our closing collective visioning activity will seek to imagine new possibilities for borders and migration that could better support both us and future generations.

🔥 How can our ancestral lineages inform our responsibilities to Truth and Reconciliation?

Continuing the thread of Session 2’s focus on our connections to ancestral indigenous lands, we’ll center this week’s conversation on our relationships and responsibilities to the lands and peoples of Turtle Island, where we call home today. With Indigenous-led knowledge sharing and facilitation, we’ll explore what it means to respectfully foster belonging on these lands while serving as allies to Indigenous sovereignty in what is currently Canada.

⚡ What does an effective and equitable response to the climate crisis look like?

From a global perspective, we’ll explore our responsibilities to the rest of the world in respect to the climate crisis, from offering sanctuary to those impacted and/or displaced by climate change, to sharing resources like water and food with other more severely impacted countries. We’ll also discuss conflict and war, both as a source of increasing GHG emissions, and as a result of climate collapse.

Finally, we’ll ground this global conversation in the potential for local community crisis response and what we can learn from past and present movements to better prepare for the realities of climate change.

Our closing collective visioning activity will explore the systems of adaptation and resilience we can build to ensure no one is left behind.
