Overview
The Co-Management of Natural Resources (CNR) Online micro-certificate provides Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals with an opportunity to gain the competencies required to build and implement tools and strategies for advancing co-management initiatives, institutional and relational change, and intercultural understanding. The program will develop skills and competencies for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals to make these partnerships successful and mutually beneficial. Multiple perspectives, such as Indigenous and Western knowledge systems, are brought together to help build more durable solutions to natural resource management conflicts. The program is grounded on the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
