Abstract

First Nations peoples have lived and cared for Country, now known as Australia,
for at least 60,000 years. First Nations peoples in Australia have survived significant
climatic change in the past, including two ice ages and rising sea levels. In this
chapter, we argue that becoming a climate conscious lawyer is not possible without the purposive inclusion of First Nations knowledges and perspectives, and the movement must be part of the broader process of decolonising both legal education and the colonial Australian legal system.
