First nations horizon

report Overview

Australia’s clean energy transition and growth of the clean technology manufacturing sector is a once in a generation opportunity to place First Nations leadership at the heart of a national industry transformation.

The X report identifies articulates economic participation and equitable partnerships as central to the energy transition, and is underpinned by three goals: to empower First Nations communities with clean energy, achieve economic benefits with First Nations peoples, and enable equitable partnerships.
