Indigenous knowledge

Drawing on Indigenous knowledge and interdisciplinary approaches to planetary health

Indigenous knowledge can contribute to combating and adapting to climate change through ongoing protection of cultural heritage, promotion of healthy ecosystems and community empowerment and Monash University takes great pride in collaborating and drawing on this well of knowledge from our indigenous communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Monash Indigenous Centre

Research at MIC covers a range of projects on Indigenous Earth Knowledge, working closely with Aboriginal and Islander communities, educators, and industry partners and collaborating with Indigenous earth science researchers at other universities.
Indigenous knowledge at the heart of planetary health

Over millennia, Indigenous peoples have developed a close and unique connection with the lands and environments in which they live. They have established unique systems of knowledge, innovation and practice and it is this spirit that underpins the work and programs at MSDI as it moves towards tackling some of the biggest challenges facing the health of our planet.
Climate Change Workshops

Workshops, run by the Monash Sustainability Institute in partnership with the Yorta Yorta Community, will examine how Indigenous traditional knowledge can contribute to improved climate change adaptation for indigenous communities and the Australian community in general.
