Prosperous Transition Plan
In 2021, Iron & Earth released the Prosperous Transition Plan report that presented our pathway to a just transition. From that report it was clear that we have been actively listening to fossil fuel industry workers on their thoughts about the transition and net-zero 2050, but that more work was needed to include their communities, as well as Indigenous Peoples from different communities and Nations. This led to the development of an Indigenous-led research team, a process that started in the Fall of 2022. As of July of this year we have built an amazing team with Indigenous researchers and Advisors and are supported by mid-level and student researchers as well as a data analyst. The team has designed a research project that includes engagement and multiple outputs:

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).
Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
