Part of the Edmonton Speaker Series.
Sheila Watt-Cloutier is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and world leader on global climate change and human rights.
Everything is Connected
With a focus on solutions, Watt-Cloutier brings us to the realities of the Arctic, where Inuit today face profound challenges to their environment, their economy, their health and their cultural well-being. The challenges they face are clearly connected to the industries we support, the disposable world we have become, and the non-sustaining policies we create.
Because her Inuit culture faces the most extreme challenges of globalization, Watt-Cloutier speaks from firsthand experience -- and couples that with her extensive experiences as a global leader. Drawing upon her ancient culture, and speaking from a position of strength, not victimhood, she helps audiences find common ground.
Her Arctic voice -- not as far away as we might imagine -- enlightens and inspires. With inclusive good will, it bridges some extremely divided gaps around the world.
Everything is Connected: Environment, Economy, Foreign Policy, Sustainability, Human Rights and Leadership in the 21st Century.
