National Indigenous Carbon Forum

On the 16th and 17th of May 2023, ICIN held the National Indigenous Carbon Forum. This event was exclusively for Indigenous only participants and Non-Indigenous people representing Indigenous organisations. 

Building on the success of the recent North Australia Savanna Fire Forum, the national forum provided a place to share knowledge and improve understanding of Indigenous rights and interests in carbon across Australia and develop opportunities for Aboriginal people to actively manage their country. With a strong emphasis on Indigenous-led discussions, the forum featured presentations from across the industry, from Indigenous rangers and land managers to scientists, policymakers and market specialists.

This year's theme: Exploring Opportunities, Defining Our Rights
