Impacts

IPON members want to make an impact on social transformation where Indigenous knowledge works together with Western knowledge on co-generating capacity to inform policy development and catalyse actions that build on community strengths and address potential vulnerabilities.

We envision our impact work creating safe cultural spaces to bring together different knowledge and practices to respond to the global challenges that Indigenous food and health systems are facing including climate change, emergent pandemics, biodiversity loss and the compounding legacy of discrimination, land dispossession, and colonization.

The forum amplified Indigenous Youth voices and discussed policies affecting their food and knowledge systems in the context of climate and biodiversity action. IPON co-organised a side event discussing the impacts of climate change on Indigenous food and health systems and the role of academic institutions in supporting Indigenous researchers.
