Notre positionnement

The document examines the structural exclusion of Inuit people from Canada's federal climate policy framework, highlighting the failure to respect the right to free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC). It identifies key barriers, such as the lack of regional differentiation between Northern and Southern Canada and the tendency for government engagement to be symbolic rather than substantive. The study advocates for a 'paradigm of indigenous resurgence' to center Inuit knowledge, land-based relations, and inclusive community mobilization. It references the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami's National Inuit Climate Change Strategy and the Inuit Circumpolar Council's protocols as essential frameworks for ethical engagement and climate justice.

• Canadian federal climate policy fails to distinguish between Northern and Southern regions, leading to a lack of strategies that address specific Northern challenges such as permafrost degradation, infrastructure issues, and food insecurity.
• Indigenous peoples, including Inuits, are structurally excluded from the creation and implementation of Canada's climate policy, which violates their right to self-determination and the principle of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC).
• Engagement by the Canadian government is often symbolic, consulting Indigenous communities for appearance rather than as equal partners, as seen in the development of the Pan-Canadian Framework and the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan.
