Program
The National Indigenous Carbon Forum will be held online from Tuesday May 16 - Wednesday May 17 (10:00am - 3:30pm ACST).
Attendance is limited to First Nations people, representatives of Indigenous organisations and invited guests. This is to fulfil the key aim of the forum, which is to support a safe space to talk about issues impacting the Indigenous carbon industry and how to enable greater
participation of Indigenous groups in the carbon industry.
