PBCs invited to consult on the Western Australian Aboriginal Climate Adaptation Project

Posted: September 15th, 2025

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) is holding regional workshops throughout September and October 2025 with the aim of speaking with First Nations people, organisations, and communities in WA for the Western Australian Aboriginal Climate Adaptation Project (WAACA). DWER is also keen to speak directly to PBCs, with an invite to hold 1:1 30-60 minute consultations for the project.

The WAACA Project aims to integrate First Nations knowledge and worldviews into WA’s climate resilience efforts. In this phase of the project, consultation will be focussed on climate resilience and adaptation as well as the design of a fund for future Aboriginal-led climate adaptation projects.
