Research for the Front Lines

Research for the Front Lines Research for the Front Lines supports communities and movements fighting for social and environmental justice by offering pro bono research time and labour.

Research for the Front Lines is a new initiative that connects
grassroots communities and organizers on the front lines of the fight for environmental and climate justice in Canada

with

researchers with skills, time, and labour to offer

to collaborate on research that contributes to resisting extractive, colonial capitalism and rebuilding just, flourishing alternatives. What we do:

Work with

front line communities and grassroots activists & organizers to identify research needs. Coordinate a network of researchers offering their skills, time and labour to respond to community/movement research needs. Provide training for researchers about community-led research and decolonial research methodologies. Ensure rigorous, quality research outputs. Ensure collaborations are effective, respectful and serving community/organizer needs.

Indigenous Climate Action has officially released our latest report: Nature-Based Climate Solutions.

While NbCS are often positioned as climate solutions, this report takes a deeper look at what they mean for Indigenous Peoples, lands, and sovereignty.

Inside the report:
🌱 What NbCS are and how they’re being used
🌱 Critical perspectives on settler-led approaches
🌱 The risks, harms, and barriers impacting our communities
🌱 Opportunities for Indigenous-led climate solutions rooted in rights, responsibilities, and land-based knowledge

This work is about more than climate policy, it’s about land, jurisdiction, and the futures we are fighting for.

We've released a new report!

Pipelines vs. Promises discusses the findings of a research project conducted in summer 2025 by the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition, with support from Research for the Front Lines, exposing how drastically the economic, legal and regulatory, and policy conditions have changed since major Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) projects and pipelines were first on the table in 2012.
