Nature-Based Solutions and Indigenous Voices: Lessons from Canada [[link removed]]
Tuesday, Feb. 28 // 1–2:00 pm (ET)
Join us virtually for a fireside chat on nature-based solutions and Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, moderated by Canada Institute Director Christopher Sands.
Decarbonization of the economy will require a substantial near-term avoidance and reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to meet net-zero goals set by the Canadian and U.S. Governments. To accomplish this neutralization, momentum is building toward the concept of nature-based solutions (NBS): actions to protect and sustainably manage ecosystems in a way that also addresses social changes and provides human and biodiversity benefits.
As stewards of their lands and territories, Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the United States are often the first to face the impacts of climate change. Indigenous experiences, perspectives and rights can and should be critical components to building effective climate change strategies. Collaborating with Indigenous Peoples in the selection and design of NBS and other climate change adaptation methods is vital in the success and sustainability of these programs.

Fire and Rain: Nixon, Kissinger, and the Wars in Southeast Asia [[link removed]]Monday, Feb. 27 // 4–5:30 pm (ET)
In analyzing Nixon and Kissinger’s failed Vietnam policy, Carolyn Eisenberg emphasizes the competing pressures of the national security bureaucracies on the one hand and the role of the antiwar movement and Congress on the other. Her narrative reveals how a systemic indifference to suffering on the ground led to faulty decision-making. By closely examining Nixon and Kissinger’s diplomacy with the Soviet Union and China, she reveals the falsity of the “credibility” justification of their decision-making.
