The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) is taking climate change seriously.

As stewards of the land and harvesters of plants, berries and animals, the Métis people are witnessing first-hand the depletion of these staples alongside other environmental impacts due to climate change.

In 2017, the MNA engaged with more than 1,700 of their people across Alberta and asked them what they thought should be done about these issues.

The outcome was the Métis Climate Action Plan which focuses on education, renewable energy, energy efficiency and environmental monitoring.
