The elected leaders of the Haisla, Lax Kw’alaams, Metlakatla and Nisga’a have come together to form the First Nations Climate Initiative. The goal of this think tank is to attract private-sector investment, bolster economic self-determination and address poverty in their communities as we rebound from the economic impact of COVID-19. The group hopes to attract investment in at least two more LNG projects in northwest B.C., possibly in the Prince Rupert region, the Nass Valley or Kitimat.
