Indigenous solutions to climate change | Event Link
Scientists are calling for the need to cut our global emissions by 2030 in order to avoid climate catastrophe. They say we’re running out of time to come up with new ways to live sustainably. The U.S. National Science Foundation sponsored a 3-day virtual workshop that kicks off Thursday to come up with solutions. Kelsey Amos, Chief Operating Officer of educational nonprofit Purple Maiʻa, spoke with The Conversation’s Savannah Harriman-Pote about biocultural solutions.

KITCHENER A man has died of his injuries following a house fire in Kitchener over the weekend. Two firefighters also suffered minor burns in the fire. The fire happened around 10:30 p.m. on Friday. Officials said the firefighters pulled the man from the home and resuscitated him, but the Ontario Fire Marshal s office confirmed Monday that he died of his injures. A passerby noticed flames coming out of the house. They soon arrived on scene to an active fire. The whole block was lit up with the lights, one resident told CTV News. It was almost like Christmas. Police directed traffic away from the scene while 20 firefighters worked to put the flames out when they found the man inside.
