Summary
As the world experiences a changing climate, what can a country like Australia learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' experiences over millennia? What First Nations knowledges and expertise can help inform Australia's understanding of climate and preparation for disaster resilience? Through a series of case studies, students will explore different climate change events and how people adapted to them.
