First Nations People at the Frontline of Climate Justice: Law and the Future of the Country

First Nations communities have long been leaders in caring for Country and advocating for environmental protection. As climate challenges intensify, their knowledge, leadership, and legal advocacy remain central to the pursuit of climate justice in Australia.

Join us for an important discussion exploring the intersection of First Nations leadership, climate justice, and the law, and what this means for the future of our country.

📅 Tuesday, 17 March
⏰ 6:00pm – 7:00pm
💻 Online via Microsoft Teams

We will also be hosting an on-campus viewing of the webinar, with some nibblies provided for attendees.
📍 Location: Hawken Engineering Building, 50-S201

Whether you attend in person or online, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful conversation about climate, law, and the future of Country.

Must-have JATL essentials this semester!

Favourite tote? Yes.
Airpods? Obviously.
Iced coffee before your 8am? Non-negotiable.

But the real essential? Your JATL membership!

It’s your access pass to the good stuff - networking nights, skills workshops, career chats, and the kind of opportunities you don’t hear about in lectures. It’s how you meet people outside your tutorial, build confidence, and actually feel part of the community.

Lock in your JATL membership!
