About The Organization
Askiy Karbon was founded with the vision of harmonizing traditional Indigenous wisdom with modern solutions to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.
The term “Askiy,” which means Earth in nêhiyawêwin (Cree), embodies our commitment to the planet and its well-being.
Our journey began with a profound understanding of the environmental challenges posed by climate change coupled with the need for economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
Askiy Karbon has marked several key milestones, including the establishment of our Carbon Trading Network, Projects and Investments, and the Indigenous Compliance Network. These initiatives underscore our dedication to creating a sustainable and prosperous future for all.
Our Mission
At Askiy Karbon, our mission is to take meaningful climate action that fosters sustainable systems while advancing Indigenous economic reconciliation through strategic partnerships with businesses and industries. We are dedicated to respecting the Earth that sustains us and ensuring our actions contribute positively to the environment and our communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the leading force in building projects with a positive environmental impact within Canada, integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into sustainable project development and business partnerships. We aim to improve our land, our people, and our collective prosperity, creating a future where economic growth and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
