Steering group member Brian Bero has been awarded National First Nations Senior Lawyer of the Year!

International experience demonstrates that investing in First Nations brings benefits to whole economies, to clean energy projects, and to First Nations groups.

And investing meaningfully and at scale in First Nations-led clean energy is not just equitable, it makes good business sense.

In this session we explore financial mechanisms and incentives currently available, and how to make government incentives work for us (eg. capacity investment scheme, Indigenous Procurement targets, and so on).

We'll also discuss the benefits, risks, and challenges of Australia falling behind international trends, and when we're likely to see significant First Nations investment 'talk' become a reality.
