A huge thank you for joining us at the First Nations Clean Energy Symposium on Wadawurrung Country, Djilang (Geelong, Victoria), hosted by the First Nations Clean Energy Network with support from the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation.

This year, we welcomed 500 people to our biggest Symposium yet! Bringing together First Nations leaders and communities from across Australia and globally, alongside people from government, industry and the clean energy sector.

And how great was it! Your keen level of interest and your contributions helped make the gathering a deeply meaningful event, with many takeaways.

Together, we reflected on some of the amazing work being led by our communities both here and globally, shared knowledge and experiences, and built greater understanding about actions we must next take next.
