Was excited to present last night in the lead up to #COP27 to the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples' Platform to the #UNFCCC on how the #IPCC #AR6 incorporated Indigenous Knowledges alongside Western science on #climatechange impacts. @GrettaPecl Tero Mustonen Sherilee Harper

For COP27, the Australian Government delegation is taking some different messages to previous years – including a stated commitment to featuring Indigenous Knowledges. There is a wealth of relevant research from First Nations researchers #healthycop27 croakey.org/cop27-on-count…

Thanks to my co-authors Bradley Moggridge (PhD) Cara Beal & Charles Agnew ... this is the story in a nutshell: WA A-G found 37 remote Indigenous communities in 2020 had an unfit drinking water supply due to microbes, nitrates or uranium – no improvement since 2015. x.com/bradmoggo/stat…

A local leader asked our Torres Strait Islander co-author Francis Nona , ’We know that you will return to your Country—unlike previous researchers. So how can you help with climate change?’ Here’s our response together with Andy Red. Im@looking forward to next steps!

Powerful & important action @KlerckMichael @JoshuaCreamer

The CEO of the international water association outlines the value in Indigenous Knowledges and Local Knowledges on water management to be taught to and valued by water professionals. Great to see this discussion happening at an industry level. ⁦ thesourcemagazine.org/tapping-into-t…

Presenting today on work with Sandra Creamer AO at #WaterandWASHfutures #WaWF23 on drinking water as a human right & the way forward for remote community supplies in a changing climate

At #OzWater23 this week to present with Bradley Moggridge (PhD) Cara Beal @charlesagnew on how safe & palatable drink water is possible in remote Indigenous communities in Australia. It doesn’t require new technology but the right support, governance, funding & cultural humility.

Thanks Anna Finnane for your clear call to action to ask ourselves in #ReconciliationWeek: ‘If we were really “working together to improve the health and wellbeing of populations in a changing and inequitable world”, wouldn’t we start in our own workplaces?’

I have been a specialist infectious diseases physician since 2008, looking after patients in NSW, Qld and the NT. I have learned from the culture and humanity of every one of my patients and have learned most from my Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients + colleagues 🧵

This is exciting: $13.5mill for NT safe drinking water in remote communities. Let’s hope it can be delivered for for people, place and purpose! ⁦Cara Beal⁩ ⁦Bradley Moggridge (PhD)⁩ abc.net.au/news/2023-06-1…

The budget pledged $12.5 million for free menstrual products in Indigenous organisations. Minnie King & I were asked to write from remote Cape York about why it’s needed. #Budget2024 #menstrualequity #theconversation.com theconversation.com/the-budget-ple…
