Title: Responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 Call to Action #92: A SHARED Future?

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 96 Calls to Actions, released in 2015, seek to redress the legacy of colonialism in Canada through a process of reconciliation. Call #92 to the corporate sector in Canada urging the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a framework for reconciliation and a foundation upon which to build respectful relationships, consult with, and inform Indigenous peoples and Nations across Canada about economic development projects. In considering this Call to Action, 鈥淎 SHARED Future鈥� (short for Achieving Strength, Health, and Autonomy through Renewable Energy Development for the Future) is a five-year CIHR Team Grant that seeks to examine how intersectoral strategies and approaches may contribute to improvements in Indigenous health and health equity by preventing, mitigating, reducing and/or enhancing resilience to harmful environmental exposures and/or promoting healthful environments through renewable energy projects. At this seminar, Dr. Castleden will share her Team鈥檚 work on A SHARED Future to date.
