Join us for the first Webinar in the Caring For Country Webinar Series rescheduled to 4th August 2021. This Webinar Series has been organized by the Caring For Country Committee, a Working Group of Australia ICOMOS, a Working Group of Australia ICOMOS with members from Australia ICOMOS, ICOMOS New Zealand, ICOMOS Pasifika and Non-ICOMOS members from Oceania.
‘Oceania Wisdom for a Climate Chance’, brings together a group of distinguished First Nations Australians, Ni Vanuatu, and Australian South Sea Islanders, who will present their insights on the impacts of climate change on their respective domains of land and water and the Indigenous responses to these.
Co-ordinated by (Waskam) Emelda Davis, Dr Anne Poelina and Dr Marie Geissler, it highlights the ‘climate chance’ that now exists, as a window of opportunity for governments and outside agencies seeking sustainable and long-term solutions from the impacts of climate change, to work alongside First Nations people. Through this process they will be informed of the ancient wisdom traditions and intimate knowledge of lands and their interconnected biospheres and seasons that First Nations peoples hold. This knowledge draws on thousands of years of successful natural resources management of country by First Nations peoples, where practices for land stewardship are highly individualized and responsive to the different circumstances of each habitat. Elders to speak include Aunty Shireen Malamoo, (Waskam) Emelda Davis, Dr Anne Poelina, Uncle Ben Harry, Pastor Ray Minniecon and Samson Vivil Fare. Dr Marie Geissler will give the introduction to the webinar.

When it comes to climate change and water, heritage is barely in the picture. An important reason is that the heritage and water world do not know each other sufficiently. Institutional, political and especially when it comes to research and science, there is little common ground. ICOMOS Netherlands and the Dutch Castle Foundation want to change this and show the important role heritage can play in sustainable solutions. Innovative adjustments have already been made at various country estates. Join the conversation and be inspired.
Contribution to participate is € 10. Students can register free of charge. After the symposium you will receive a video link to the recording of the livestream and a summary of the symposium.
Note for international participants: Please note that the symposium will be held in Dutch. After the symposium we will send all attendees a video link of the live stream with subtitles in English and an abstract also in English.
