“The catastrophic wildfires devastated British Columbia in 2017. The Tsilhqot’in communities, their territory and
wildlife will take years to recover. Planning for the future of impending emergencies needed to happen yesterday. The wildfires swept through the Tsilhqot’in territory in the summer of 2017 and illuminated the issues that plague the inclusion of First Nation value systems in government-togovernment relationships. In many ways the fires awakened the Tsilhqot’in people.”

Biodiversity Targets Will Not Be Met Without Debt and Tax Justice

2020 | Jessica Dempsey, Audrey Irvine-Broque, Sara Nelson

From the report: “Approaches to financing biodiversity conservation tend to focus on funding gaps, but fail to address underlying political and economic drivers. We propose two strategies — tax reform and debt justice — to supercharge public financing for biodiversity and deflate harmful financial flows, while chipping away at the causes of state austerity.”
