What we’re doing
First Nations communities have long used songlines and oral stories to track climate patterns. This case study draws on these knowledge systems and climate science to explore the impacts of floods and droughts on ecosystems, communities and Country.
Why it matters
Extreme wet and dry events are becoming more frequent and intense in some regions. Understanding the positive and negative impacts of these events through both scientific and Indigenous perspectives can enhance resilience and inform planning.
