Vision
First Nations people and communities need a seat at the negotiating table when it comes to renewable energy. We want to share the economic benefits, job opportunities in our communities, and ready access to lower-cost and reliable power. We want to address climate change and protect Country and culture for generations to come. The renewables boom can help us do that.
Values Our values drive everything we do. Self-determination: We genuinely determine what happens in our communities and on our Country. Community-driven solutions: We know the solutions, we just need the resources, investment and support to achieve them. Consent: We assert our right to consent, or not, to projects on our Country.Collaboration: We are strongest working together, sharing knowledge, skills and experience.
Mission
We will work to:
- Support communities to drive the development of clean energy projects that provide direct benefits to residents through reduced household energy costs and more reliable energy
- Establish an innovation hub, promoting the implementation of best practice principles that should underpin all agreements for land use and benefit sharing between First Nations groups, companies and investors, while building community capacity through training and employment for First Nations people to participate in the renewable energy sector.
- Advocate to lift significant federal and state regulatory barriers to renewable energy development and stoke government investment in technology, innovation and infrastructure.
