I have been thinking a lot lately about Live Streaming content supporting concrete resolutions and sustainable outcomes from upcoming meetings culminating in a global agreement on Climate Change at the Copenhagen Climate Summit.
We have a lot to learn from the stories and wisdom of First Nations people who hold cultural knowledge about climate change, and social justice. That’s why I was delighted to learn about Isuma.tv.
Live Streaming from the Arctic
Countdown to Copenhagen is Isuma’s six-month internet campaign to promote the importance of Inuit knowledge and human rights in the global discussion of Climate Change. Monthly webcasts on IsumaTV from May to November will culminate in Live From the Floe Edge, ten days of daily internet streaming hosted by Zacharias Kunuk live from his arctic wilderness hunting camp during the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, December 7-17.
Starting May 29 at 7:45 pm EST
The series will launch with a live webcast on Friday May 29, featuring Siila Watt-Cloutier, Inuit climate activist and 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, speaking on Inuit, Human Rights and Climate Change live from Iqaluit, Nunavut to a worldwide audience.. The program leads off at 7:45 pm EST with the World Premiere of Tungijuq, Isuma’s new 6-minute video starring Inuit jazz and throat-singing sensation, Tanya Tagaq. At 8 pm Siila Watt-Cloutier delivers the 9th annual LaFontaine-Baldwin Lecture, introduced by John Ralston Saul, The Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, Isuma’s Zacharias Kunuk and The Honourable Ann Meekitjuk Hanson, Commissioner of Nunavut.
I’ll be watching. Will you?
