Connecting to Country to combat the climate crisis

Indigenous cultures and traditions are built upon sharing natural resources. Australia’s First Nations peoples have cared for Country for sixty-five thousand years with both innovative and traditional land management practices and play a crucial role in the ecosystems we all inhabit.

The impact of climate change can endanger the survival of indigenous communities both in Australia and worldwide. Indigenous people are and will be uniquely impacted by climate change and with unrivalled knowledge of the land, this must be included in the challenge of combatting climate change.
