2121: A Global Futures Forum

MAJORITY OF ONE REPORT

Recognising the environmental benchmark

If the people now living in Australia wish to survive to 2121, they will need to take deliberate, structured and strategic steps/actions to:

1. Seek Indigenous knowledge and experience of the environment and its interconnectedness with Indigenous Peoples to find out about patterns of living which enabled a sustainable, livable environment until the recent Cook invasion (British) i.e. since time immemorial; and
2. Seek this information whilst maintaining proper respect for Indigenous People's intellectual property rights (e.g. via binding agreements).
