Country
Connection to Country
The Gunaikurnai people are the Traditional Owners of much of what is now referred to as Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. Their country spans from Warragul in the west to the Snowy River in the east, and from the Great Divide in the north to the coast in the south.
For Gunaikurnai, Country is the land, the water, the air and the sky, the people and the stories, the past and the future. All of it is connected. All of it is important. All of it must be cared for to ensure that it remains healthy for future generations.
By working together in a spirit of mutual respect and partnership, we can create a future that is not only sustainable and resilient, but also culturally rich and socially just for all.

Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment
In delivering the National Climate Risk Assessment (National Assessment), the Australian Climate Service has provided an assessment of risk across 8 key systems and 11 regions, prioritising key risks both within each system and across systems.
This approach has provided an understanding of who or what might be at risk from a changing climate, across different areas of the country and paints a national picture for decision makers, to help them prioritise adaptation actions.
Australia will experience impacts from climate change in different ways – our people, places, essential goods and services, our economy and infrastructure, our environment – all of the things we care about are at different levels of risk. What we do know is regional communities are at a heightened risk.
This is sobering but a must read for everyone.
