WINNIPEG, MARCH 30, 2017 — The world premiere of the film “Our Tomorrows, Today: Wahbung 1971” (Produced by MFNERC: Nicole Magne and David Robertson) took place at the Eckhardt Gramatte Hall at the University of Winnipeg. A number of witnesses to and writers of the original Wahbung 1971 document, commissioned and released by then Manitoba Indian Brotherhood Grand Chief Dave Courchene Sr. in 1971, were in the film or in attendance at the premiere, including some of the Women of Wahbung – Chief Jean Folster, Janet Fontaine, Verna Kirkness and Jocelyn Bruyere; and Dave Courchene Jr., son of the late Grand Chief Dave Courchene Sr. In the early 1970s, the First Nations people of Manitoba came together to reject Pierre Trudeau’s controversial White Paper written in 1969. From this historic movement came an influential position paper known as Wahbung, Our Tomorrows. This short documentary explores the history of Wahbung, Our Tomorrows, and shows how it was a catalyst for First Nations peoples’ right to self-determination.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy More than a month after the release of the latest IPCC report, the goal still feels hard to reach, and companies and governments seem to struggle to reduce their CO2 emissions. And yet, a revolution is happening right under our eyes: according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world’s renewable energy industry grew at its fastest pace since 1999 last year and may have established a standard for growth in the future. From internal operations to business model integration: What is the role of businesses in the transition to renewable energy? What is at stake for the private sector? Does choosing renewable energy necessarily mean paying a higher price? Is affordable and clean energy for all achievable by 2030? Building on this momentum, we seize the opportunity to host a 2-part live panel discussion with B Corps working at the forefront of the SDG7 “Affordable & Clean Energy”. Part 1 - 55’ - The role of businesses in the energy transition Speakers: Taryn Lane, Community Energy Advocate & Manager @Hepburn Wind, Australia Corey Lien, Chief Gardener, CEO @DOMi Earth, Taïwan Gilfine Nyangasi, Finance Manager @Solibrium Solar, Kenya Thibault Couturier, Impact investment manager @Engie, Rassembleurs d’Energie, France Together, they will explain how they contribute to this SDG and give precious insights on the energy transition, levers, and obstacles to bring it at scale, with perspective on the different geographical markets, and their advice for businesses to address SDG7. Part 2 - 35’ - Collaboration as a lever to bring transition to scale: a case study with Patagonia’s "We The Power" and REScoop. Speakers: Gina Lovett, Environmental Initiatives Manager EMEA @Patagonia, Amsterdam Stavroula Pappa, Project Manager @REScoop A unique perspective on the community-led transformation of the energy sector. This includes insights on a company/non-profit partnership, how any company can contribute beyond their business model, and practical advice to help citizens all over the world take action and to show how companies can address SGD7 and reduce their impact on the environment. About the campaign 17 days for 17 goals. Across 17 days, each day representing a different Global Goal, the B Lab showcases how the mission and the work of the movement are aligned with the SDGs, and how its community is showing up and working towards the 2030 agenda.

Technology has helped the world survive, thrive and stay connected through the COVID-19 lockdown. As countries look toward re-opening in a post-pandemic world, does tech hold the same promise in the fight to solve climate change? From mapping weather patterns with pinpoint accuracy using artificial intelligence, to engineering algae that gobbles up carbon dioxide, climate tech is ripe with breakthroughs. Is the tech sector poised for climate success, or suffering a pandemic setback? How will start-ups finance their new ventures during a global recession?

Future of Sustainability 2020: How can we harness the radical disruption presented by the COVID-19 crisis to drive a truly sustainable, just and resilient future?

This webinar took place on 8 July 2020.

The COVID-19 crisis is having a devastating impact – both in terms of lives lost and economic disruption. At Forum for the Future, we believe that it would be tragic to go back to yesterday’s “business-as-usual”; moments of radical disruption like this provide unprecedented opportunities to reinvent the future. We are therefore calling for business, governments, civil society, and communities to seize this moment in helping to deliver a more just, sustainable, and resilient world.

Panelists: Host - Dr Sally Uren, Chief Executive Officer, Forum for the Future

Co-host - Hannah Pathak, Director of UK and Europe, Forum for the Future

Leslie Johnston, Chief Executive Officer, Laudes Foundation

Nick Cliffe, Deputy Challenge Director, Innovate UK
