The First Nations Major Projects Coalition (FNMPC) recommends having Indigenous-led environmental assessments, tapping into Indigenous-led net-zero carbon policy frameworks, and boosting access to capital so that low-carbon Indigenous infrastructure projects can secure equity ownership.

Join Angel for a presentation about how FNMPC is working with its Members on the creation of Indigenous designed and developed standards, methods and guidance tools (“how to”) that are building major project development capacity amongst Indigenous communities, industry, government and more! Angel will also touch on a few key project development achievements.
