Sustainability Network:

"Organizations working on conservation and stewardship of lands and waters are increasingly building partnerships with Indigenous nations and community members, supporting fundraising, providing technical capacity, and partnering in a diverse number of ways.

Join RAD Network, EcoAnalytics and Environics as we release new research on ENGO financial practices in relation to Indigenous communities, which identifies tangible ways to more powerfully align with commitments to reconciliation. The research builds on previous work to decolonize conservation practices and environmental philanthropy, to specifically examine financial relationships between Indigenous nations, organizations or individuals, and ENGOs.

We will share highlights of our findings on financial partnerships, contracts and intellectual property, provision of in-kind technical supports, the spectrum of advisory and decision-making roles, and examples of innovative organizational structures.

We'll cover practical steps and strategies that respect Indigenous rights and reduce colonial barriers embedded in financial and administrative practices, and introduce a self-survey tool for leaders to bring back into organizations."

Sustainability Network & Climate Action Against Disinformation:

"You know climate change isn't a hoax. But do you know how climate disinformation is still influencing you? Find out how climate disinformation is being used to sabotage climate action, and what you can do about it, with Phil Newell, communications co-chair of the Climate Action Against Disinformation coalition, a network of over 90 organizations around the world who are part of a new Global Initiative on Information Integrity on Climate Change.

Built for the climate community, this hour-long training will provide an entertaining overview of how disinformation really works, before explaining why many common responses, like fact checking, unfortunately won't work, and ending with what is already working and what YOU can do about it. Because yes, there are actually real, viable solutions to climate disinformation, and policies that address it that you can help enforce!"
