The energy transition in the Kimberley is only just beginning, and it’s our moment to shape what it looks like for our families, our communities, and Country.
This gathering brings together Traditional Owners, community leaders and clean energy partners from across the Kimberley region to set the direction for a First Nations-led clean energy future.
Let’s come together and set the agenda for how this change affects us, our country, our communities and our kids into the future.
