By

OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ – Indigenous Peoples have traditional knowledge and expertise to help address climate change and protect the environment. 

Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson welcomed the release of Kinship and Prosperity: Proven Solutions for a Clean Energy Landscape, the Wah-ila-toos Indigenous Council’s Report. The report provides recommendations to power more Indigenous, rural and remote communities with clean energy while recognizing the various challenges these communities face. It affirms that Indigenous Peoples are leaders and knowledge keepers, and that they have the skills and experiences needed to establish a thriving economy while living in reciprocity with the environment.

The recommendations outlined in the report will help inform the development of future climate strategies and policies, providing a framework for integrating Indigenous voices into this work. The Government of Canada will continue to work with Indigenous Peoples and other energy partners to identify opportunities to advance joint priorities including in response to the Council’s advice, which will also be reflected in Canada’s upcoming Clean Electricity Strategy.

We thank the Council for the significant and important work it has done over the past two years, including on this report. These recommendations will play a key role in guiding action to reduce the use of expensive and polluting fossil fuels for heat and power in Indigenous, rural and remote communities and instead advance clean energy solutions that have the potential to save people money on energy and create economic opportunities and jobs in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

Quotes

“I thank the Council members for their work and recommendations, which speak to the power and contribution of Indigenous leadership in advancing clean energy in Indigenous, rural and remote communities. They will contribute to creating economic prosperity and security now and into the future as well as build strong, healthy and more resilient communities and make life affordable, especially in the North. Seizing the opportunity that clean energy presents continues to be important for Indigenous communities and the Government of Canada as we work together toward reconciliation. I look forward to continuing work on shared priorities guided by the Council’s advice.”

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

“It is only through the collective efforts of Indigenous communities, industry, government and local leaders that we will see results in our fight against climate change. I am deeply heartened by and appreciative of the hard work of the Wah-ila-toos Indigenous Council, who have offered important guidance for further advancing Indigenous clean energy leadership. I look forward to seeing these principles and recommendations woven into Canada’s path to a cleaner energy future.”

The Honourable Dan Vandal
Minister of Northern Affairs

“We are grateful for the expertise and leadership of the Wah-ila-toos Indigenous Council in advancing energy transition efforts within Indigenous communities and across the country. Our government continues to work in partnership with Indigenous communities to support reconciliation and self-determination. Together with Indigenous partners, we are building a low-emission, cost-effective energy future, which will in turn improve health and resilience within Indigenous communities and across Canada.”

The Honourable Patty Hajdu
Minister of Indigenous Services

Insights About Today’s Clothing Shoppers

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On November 15, 2024, Cotton Incorporated presented and shared marketing data and analyses about consumer attitudes and habits relating to apparel shopping with the professionals from the textile apparel industry at the media sharing session in Seoul, South Korea.

Melissa Bastos, Director of Corporate Strategy and Insights for Cotton Incorporated, oversees research on consumer attitudes and behaviors and retail assessments conducted in the United States, Latin America, South Korea, Thailand and other Asian countries. Cotton Incorporated keeps providing valuable market insights to support decision-makers throughout the global cotton supply chain.

“In recent years, the proportion of consumers choosing to shop online has continued to rise, with convenience, lower prices, and a wider variety of options being key factors for this choice,” stated Bastos.

Bastos also noted that nearly three-fifths of consumers experienced quality issues when purchasing apparel online. Globally, consumers often associate cotton products with fashion, comfort, and trusted quality, with 55% noting they would pay more for clothes made from cotton.

Bastos highlighted that jeans were a significant cotton product, with 80% South Korea consumers expressing a preference for wearing them. As sustainability in apparel becomes increasingly important to consumers, factors like the use of natural fibres, and sustainable production may influence their decisions to purchase jeans. She indicated that the industry was actively promoting traceability strategies, with cotton being one of the most commonly traced materials, which enhanced the value of cotton products.

As a non-for-profit organization dedicated to promote cotton products, Cotton Incorporated’s mission is to increase the demand for and profitability of cotton. Cotton Incorporated is also dedicated to raising awareness of cotton’s sustainability. Their Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program has collected over two million pieces of denim, repurposing them into UltraTouch™ denim insulation materials for construction use. Additionally, Cotton Incorporated actively researches cotton cultivation and product technology, offering a range of sustainable solutions for the textile sector that strengthen the market position of cotton products.

For more information about cotton, you can visit the Cotton Incorporated website (www.cottoninc.com) to access a wealth of industry information, including market data, monthly economic updates, cotton production information, production resources, and performance technologies related to cotton.
