Several Australian organisations including the First Nations Clean Energy Network have bandied together to lobby the Federal Government to commit to $100 billion investment in clean energy.

Australia’s energy transition will require access to large areas of land, waters and seas, including for thousands of kilometres of new transmission lines, for storage and generation projects, and access to critical minerals.

Amid conversations on climate change and developing a sustainable future, The First Nations Clean Energy Network fights for the rights and elevates the voices of First Peoples.

The First Nations Clean Energy Network (the Network) supports communities and businesses in developing clean energy projects with First Nations people at the heart. Projects will seek to provide employment opportunities and economic benefits, along with protecting sacred sites, empowering Native Title rights, and caring for Country. The Network developments will range from small community-based projects to large scale, export focussed initiatives.

A new alliance of First Nations groups, clean energy industry bodies, unions and research groups has been established to ensure that Australia’s First Nations share the economic benefits of the booming market for renewable energy projects. 

The First Nations Clean Energy Network, unveiled on Tuesday, will serve as a key forum to support First Nations communities and businesses to partner with clean energy projects while also ensuring the protection of First Nations heritage and respect of native title interests.
