Hosted by Assembly of First Nations
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Environment Sector is hosting a webinar series from November 7, 2024, to March 20, 2025. The series aims to share information and updates on AFN’s environmental policy issues and activities with First Nations peoples and organizations and collect feedback to inform AFN’s recommendations. These recommendations will be incorporated into advocacy materials, including technical submissions.
The series will cover topics such as the Nature Accountability Act (NAA) and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP); Environmental Justice (EJ); the Right to a Healthy Environment (RTHE) under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act; Species at Risk (SAR); Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD); the National Climate Strategy (NCS) and the AFN 3rd National Climate Gathering (NCG); and, the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). During each session, AFN will facilitate discussions to identify issues and develop recommendations as well as to present, inform and update on the various subjects.
