This report is a synopsis of a 2018-2019 research and engagement project entitled, Nature-Based Solutions: Indigenous-led Conservation and Carbon Storage in Canada. The project was led by researchers at the University of Guelph in collaboration with Anwaatin Inc., Shared Value Solutions, and KAP Design. The project was largely funded by the Metcalf Foundation’s 2018 Carbon Landscapes funding program.The purpose of this project was to explore the potential alignment of Indigenous-led conservation (i.e. conservation and stewardship led by Indigenous Peoples) and Indigenous-led (nature-based) carbon storage by centering Indigenous perspectives. We strove to identify the opportunities, challenges, and priorities in the convergence of these two innovations in environmental governance.
