Energy Transition in Australia: The Central Role of, and Particular Burden on, Traditional Owners
Energy transition requires access to huge swathes of land for Renewable energy, Carbon farming projects, Gas projects, as demand for gas as a transitional fuel remains strong.
At a time when the free, prior and informed consent standard is becoming mainstream, law makers are attempting to design systems that respect Traditional Owners' rights as well as facilitate a path to net zero.
