Gippsland Climate Change Network acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Bunurong, Bidwell, and Ngarigo-Monero peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters in Gippsland. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We stand in solidarity with First Nations communities and pledge our full support to the First Peoples’ Treaty process in Victoria, honouring their enduring cultural and spiritual connections to Country.
