Amplifying Indigenous Voices Throughout NAIDOC Week

14 Jul Amplifying Indigenous Voices Throughout NAIDOC Week

Raising awareness about the pivotal role of rivers in tackling climate challenges, the First Nations Voices for Rivers video campaign co-created with the Australian Water Partnership communicates the importance of integrating Indigenous voices globally into water governance strategies. The videos delve into crucial topics and messages for our world’s rivers and waterways: 

1. Embedding Indigenous Knowledge and Tools. Explore the significance of incorporating Indigenous knowledge and tools to achieve climate-resilient water management.
2. Inclusive and Equitable Decision Making. Learn about the importance of enhancing river and waterway management through inclusive and equitable decision-making and governance.
3. Implications of Climate Change on Indigenous Communities. Understand the development outcomes needed to reduce the water-related impacts of climate change on Indigenous Communities. 

Throughout NAIDOC Week – Australia’s week-long celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – we re-shared these important videos with our global network of changemakers to continue to raise awareness of First Nations’ contributions to climate-resilient water management.

We invite you to watch the full video series here. By amplifying these narratives, we aim to spark conversations, inspire action, and foster a community dedicated to equitable and sustainable water practices.
