Indigenous leadership is crucial to sustainable change, according to the Anishnawbe Business Professional Association
THUNDER BAY — The federal government needs to invest in Indigenous-led “nature-based solutions” to address climate change, says Jason Rasevych.
Rasevych is president of the Anishnawbe Business Professional Association (ABPA), a non-profit organization serving the First Nations business community within Treaty 3, Treaty 5, Treaty 9 and the Robinson Superior and Robison Huron treaty areas.
This week at a Nature United conference in Ottawa, he called for the federal government to allocate at least $1 billion of its Indigenous loan-guarantee program to “Indigenous-led nature-based climate solutions.”
