Sovereignty, Identity and Climate Change

This final session explores the concept of sovereignty as not just political autonomy but a holistic connection to culture and land. Identity is framed as a multifaceted construct shaped by heritage and community ties. The conversation highlights the intersections of climate change and cultural identity, emphasising the challenges faced by Indigenous communities in maintaining their practices and connections to the land.
