Acknowledgement of country

The research group brings together scholars concerned with climate justice. As a group, we wish to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurring peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands on which we research, teach and work, and pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also wish to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Ancestors and Traditional Custodians of all the lands and waters on which we live, work and learn. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and through our work we seek to understand how we might honour our collective obligations to Country, peoples, and cultures.
