“Country” is an Australian Indigenous term that speaks to First Nations peoples’ ongoing connection to their traditional lands and water, and their land management practices of Country. The term Country extends to all people who live, work, conduct business, learn and play on Country. All aspects of our lives will be impacted by climate change – thus, this theme explores the human impacts of climate change. Working in partnership with communities and local government, the hub will look at building solution-focused narratives. These include understanding local climate risks and impacts, including regional climate information, as well as understanding urban heat effects, bushfire risks, coastal hazards, and air quality risks.
