THUNDER BAY — The federal government needs to invest in Indigenous-led “nature-based solutions” to address climate change, says Jason Rasevych. Rasevych is president of the Anishnawbe Business Professional Association (ABPA), a non-profit organization serving the First Nations business community within Treaty 3, Treaty 5, Treaty 9 and the Robinson Superior and Robison Huron treaty areas. At a Nature United conference in Ottawa, he called for the federal government to allocate at least $1 billion of its Indigenous loan-guarantee program to “Indigenous-led nature-based climate solutions.” The government needs to work with communities on climate change solutions and expand the opportunities for Indigenous Protected Conservation Areas, an ABPA news release said. …“It’s very important to Indigenous communities and peoples and also plays an important intersection with the natural resource sector that we’ve developed over the last century in mining and forestry.
