Climate Change

Climate Change and Community-Driven Climate Action Through in Manitoba, Minnesota and Northwestern Ontario

We tackle climate change through creative resilience, arts-based climate entrepreneurship, and community-led adaptation. Rooted in Northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, and Minnesota, our programs blend arts-based climate action, sustainable agriculture, and Indigenous knowledge to build local capacity and drive innovation.

Through projects like Our People, Our Climate and Towards a Framework for Northern Food Systems Innovation, we empower youth and communities to respond to climate impacts with storytelling, regenerative farming, and climate-smart solutions. Fusing culture, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, we’re creating bold, place-based strategies for a more resilient future.
