Maintaining the right to housing in a changing climate : wildfire displacement, fire mortality, and emergency management in First Nations communities.HR4-142/2026E-PDF

"This research highlight brings together quantitative evidence, community perspectives, and expert analysis to show how climate change, housing conditions, fire risk, insurance, and emergency governance interact to shape the lives of First Nations. It adopts a human rights lens, consistent with the National Housing Strategy Act and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and proposes a series of concrete recommendations. At their core, these recommendations call for a paradigm shift: from reactive, fragmented systems that assume stability to Indigenous‑led, rights‑based systems designed to future‑proof communities in a changing climate"--page 8.
