Alaska Just Transition Summit
Remembering Forward
We use the phrase “Remembering Forward” as our roadmap. The solutions we seek for our communities as we transition toward healthy, regenerative economies already exist within the foundation of Indigenous cultures.
The Just Transition Summit is our biennial gathering to share knowledge, skills, inspiration, and connect about the equity and justice work we are doing in our communities.
Join us on March 18-20, 2024 in Á’akw Kwáan territory as we build pathways to liberation.
