Closing


Details

Our delegation will conclude COP28 with an interactive ceremony honoring the 8 seasons, thereby keeping climate activists, policy makers, and everybody motivated to enact positive change. It’s easy to leave your enthusiasm to do the work behind you after COP; this concluding ceremony will ensure they stay ready to keep fighting for our planet. Our knowledge only helps if it is applied. As Indigenous practices and beliefs are frequently exotified and bastardized within climate/environmental justice spaces to cater to a setter gaze, sharing our real, authentic expressions of who we are is imperative to productive climate justice discussions and negotiations. The 8 seasons are: Spring winter, Spring, Spring summer, Summer, Autumn summer, Autumn, Pre-winter, Winter. Hosted By: Wisdom Keepers
