Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Leading Earth Man) – Dave Courchene, from the Anishinabe Nation, Eagle Clan, presented on "Indigenous Values on Climate Change."

Independent analyses by NASA and NOAA confirm that Earth's global surface temperatures in 2019 ranked as the second-warmest since 1880. Temperatures were 2°F (1.1°C) warmer than the late 19th century, second only to 2016.

This data continues the planet's long-term warming trend, with the five warmest years on instrumental record all occurring in the last five years. More information is available at NASA's press release.

Elder Dave Courchene (Nii Gaani Aki Inini – Leading Earth Man) presented "The Hope for Humanity – Preparing for a New Earth" at a 2018 meeting in Winnipeg. He emphasized that separateness and materialism contribute to a society plagued by fear, anger, and depression.

Boudreaux, President & CEO, discusses Oberon Fuels' mission to decarbonize the fuel and energy sectors. The company aims to slash the environmental impact of fuels, particularly in hard-to-abate areas like heavy-duty transportation and agriculture.

Oberon achieves this through renewable dimethyl ether (rDME). Their low or carbon-negative rDME fuel can reduce LPG's carbon intensity by up to 60% when blended, potentially cutting global CO2 by 750 million metric tons annually. rDME also offers a compelling approach for transporting hydrogen for its fast-growing applications.
