    Les jeunes autochtones, agents du changement
    La jeunesse autochtone se mobilise dans les systèmes alimentaires locaux en période d’adversité
    2022
    Also available in:
    La présente publication met en lumière six initiatives menées par de jeunes autochtones dans différentes régions du monde, qui montrent la voie en misant sur des solutions et des collaborations novatrices pour faire face aux difficultés engendrées par le changement climatique et aggravées par la pandémie de covid-19 qui sévit en ce moment. Les initiatives montrent à quel point les groupes, les réseaux et les plateformes mis en place par les jeunes autochtones au niveau local sont essentiels pour satisfaire les besoins fondamentaux de leurs communautés dans ce contexte difficile. Elles illustrent les perspectives qui peuvent s’ouvrir lorsque ces jeunes ont les moyens et le soutien qu’il leur faut pour devenir des agents du changement.
