Dr. An received the 2022-2023 Gina Cody School EDI Research Grant. The team’s project will explore the crucial role of Indigenous communities in addressing environmental problems, covering topics such as emerging pollution problems, climate change adaptation, traditional ecological knowledge, biodiversity conservation, Indigenous leadership in decision-making, and the challenges faced by Indigenous communities. Despite their sustainable way of life, Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by many emerging environmental problems such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution. Recognizing and addressing these issues can help create a more equitable and sustainable future for Indigenous communities.
