Acknowledgement of Country

The Net Zero Commission acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands and waters upon which we live and work throughout NSW.  

We pay respect to Elders, past and present, acknowledging the diversity of First Nations peoples across NSW, and we recognise their ongoing connection to land, waters, biodiversity and culture.

We recognise the practice of intergenerational care for Country and its relevance to our work. The Net Zero Commission values Aboriginal knowledge of caring for Country. We seek to listen, learn and build strong partnerships with First Nations peoples across NSW. Cultural approaches to caring for Country have existed for millennia and can teach us ways of adapting to our changing environment.
