NEW Indigenous Carbon Project Guide Launched

Indigenous-owned carbon projects across Australia are making a huge difference to our lives through creating jobs and supporting opportunities for Indigenous people to care for country. 

We are proud to launch the Indigenous Carbon Projects Guide, which has been developed to ensure that Indigenous groups are well-informed to position themselves to maximise the benefits from carbon projects for the country and community, and to have their voices heard by government and policy-makers.

The Guide will help Indigenous groups across Australia understand the opportunities and risks of getting involved in the carbon market. Each section of the guide focuses on a different aspect of the business and may be downloaded in full or in parts.
