To address climate change and climate justice, it is essential that policies and solutions target the persistent drivers and underlying causes of the crisis.

Through the , Indigenous Climate Action has investigated the problems of climate change, how it is exacerbating existing challenges in our communities and how colonial capitalism is not only driving the crises but erecting barriers to our own solutions.

In 2023 Indigenous Climate Action released Part 1 of the Phase 2 report exploring the role policy plays in upholding colonial capitalism. Now Indigenous Climate Action are gearing up to release Part 2, reclaiming policy as our own and exploring how it can serve our own transformative, decolonial goals.

Join Indigenous Climate Action for the official report launch and powerful discussion where we will nurture a deeper understanding of how “Land Back” can fundamentally reshape climate policy.

Six artists of the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective present their “stories” of migration, reflecting the vast instinctual or altered journeys of animals and plants, and forced human expulsion or immigration to places of hope and opportunity. The intertwining oof these diverse migration stories reveals the growing complexity and urgency of species in motion.

“During the pandemic, I, along with many others, became a sub-urban flâneur. My daily explorations took me to the outskirts of the city, to the near edges of the Greenbelt. Structured somewhere between the ordered parks of the city and the dark, unfathomable boreal forest, the history of this land can be read. At the western edge of Ottawa, between Corkstown Road and Moodie Drive, a debilitated wetland is being brought back to life. This is a next generation landscape – inherently human-made yet wild and generative, supporting both the local ecology and the health of the water flowing across the city. Reterritorialization in progress.

While my work seeks to reveal the striking discontinuities in this area, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority describes the science behind the changes.”

Biography��

uses photography to collect and process delicate evidence which he uses to reveal meaning and sublimity in the places where we live. His images are rich portrayals of events that played out before the photographer arrived and hint at events that might happen after he departed. Each scene contains clues to existence, presence, and place, not merely documenting physical locations but places charged with significance. Jon’s detailed photographs, whether landscape or portrait, seek to draw the viewer’s eye from object to subject, shifting their view from a “space on the ground” to a “place in the mind.”

Jon was formerly an accident investigator, and he employs these skills to inform and guide his practice. He presents his conclusions using a range of printing techniques, from the subtle gradations of silver gelatin and pigment ink to post-processed video stills. Jon’s work is held in public and private collections within Canada and the UK.

Mary Cadenasso (University of California, Davis)
“Investigating urban residential landscapes as coproduced social-ecological systems: An agenda for integrating water conservation, vegetation choice, and vulnerability to heat across scales”

Join us as landscape and urban ecologist Mary Cadenasso presents her latest research that sets an agenda for water conservation that combines social characteristics of residents and ecological conditions, including impacts of climate change.

Professor Mary L. Cadenasso is a landscape and urban ecologist that studies co-produced social-ecological systems. Her current research focuses on tradeoffs among vegetation, water conservation and heat in urban systems, and vegetation response to fire and climate change in nonurban systems. Throughout her career, Professor Cadenasso’s research has included themes of spatial heterogeneity and its link to ecosystem function across scales. She is a member of the faculty in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis where she teaches Ecosystems and Landscapes and Urban Ecology.

Join Re.Climate’s Academic Co-Director, Dr. Chris Russill, Naomi Klein,��Dr. Kendra Jewell��and Erin Blondeau on��November 19, 2024,��for The Centre for Climate Justice’s online webinar:��Feelings Don’t Care �Ӱ�ԭ�� Your Facts: Hurricanes and Fires in the Age of Conspiracy.

Naomi Klein and Dr. Jewell will lead an interactive discussion on the power of conspiracy theories in the climate world, from hurricanes in Florida and wildfires in Canada to climate denialism more generally.

Dr. Russill and Erin Blondeau will join as experts on the Canadian context to explore how increased mis/disinformation is creating confusion, fueling of far-right policies, exacerbating threats to Indigenous rights, and stymieing public will for climate action.

Sonia and Joe, environmental sustainability master’s students from the University of Ottawa, have worked as a team to install a 5kWh solar array on a favourite, local farm called BeetBox Co-op. They are finally at the finish line of the project. To mark this unique and successful collaboration, they are inviting sustainability professionals to tour the farm, hear about the project’s implementation challenges and successes, and enjoy some refreshments!

The event will take place on Thursday, November 7th, 4-6pm at BeetBox Co-op Farm (230 Davidson’s Side Rd, near Shirley’s Bay). It will be outside around a bonfire, unless it rains, then we’ll head inside the barn.��

.��This project��secures stable energy prices for the farm and lowers their carbon footprint even further! We are excited to bring together leading sustainability professionals to build new connections and find collaboration opportunities amongst themselves at this event.
