Submission to the Inquiry into Australia's Biodiversity in a Changing Climate

The AIATSIS submission to the Inquiry into Australia's Biodiversity in a Changing Climate raises 3 key points for consideration by the House of Representatives Standing committee on Climate Change, Environment and the Arts:

1. The effects of climate change on biodiversity will affect Indigenous communities, their cultures and their economies
2. Current governance arrangements on native title lands and waters are not adequate to meet the challenges of conserving biodiversity in a changing climate
3. Mechanisms to enhance community engagement.
