#59 - Avoidable Deaths Network: Canadian Chapter

Summary:

The interview features Dr. Ranjan Tata from the Canada chapter of the Avoidable Deaths Network, who focuses on disaster research through the lens of Indigenous and community led knowledge. He highlights the importance of centering the perspectives of Indigenous, racialized, and marginalized communities in understanding avoidable deaths, emphasizing that solutions should come from within communities rather than being imposed externally. The Canada chapter has developed through collaboration between students, academics, and community members, creating space for dialogue that connects lived experiences with broader issues such as climate change, forest fires, and inequality. As part of the global campaign, activities focused on interactive discussions and reflective learning, encouraging students to relate disaster risk to their own lives and communities. A key message is the need to rethink conventional approaches by recognising Indigenous knowledge as valid science and essential to prevention efforts, while future goals focus on influencing policy and practice through approaches that are rooted in community needs, self awareness, and long term sustainability.
