Engagement with Indigenous communities

 

Our corporate commitments to Indigenous communities underpins everything we do including:

 

  • engaging with communities and traditional owners to raise awareness about carbon farming, generally, as well as about specific carbon farming opportunities
  • incorporating traditional ecological knowledge into project design, development and delivery
  • seeking consent of Native Title holders to carbon farming projects on pastoral leases
  • co-developing carbon farming projects with traditional owners across various methods
  • building co-investment and climate finance opportunities for traditional owners and Indigenous communities
  • jobs, skills and training opportunities through support for existing and evolving programmes.

Pathways to drive climate finance directly to Indigenous peoples, traditional owners, and local communities

 

GreenCollar is a facilitating partner of the Peoples Forests Partnership (PFP), an industry first coalition that aims to mobilise private investment in community-driven forest conservation and restoration projects. It also aims to set a high standard for equitable, accessible and culturally appropriate mechanisms through which Indigenous peoples, traditional owners and local communities can engage with climate finance.
