An explainer released today on the 17th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) outlines the ongoing challenges to providing safe water to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Congratulations to Mikaela Jade FTSE, CEO of Indigital, for being selected as Australia’s entrant into the international Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Science (CAETS) Communication Prize.
ATSE's vision for reconciliation is that all Australians recognise and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodianship as one of the oldest knowledge systems on the planet. Through respectfully working with, listening and learning from current Traditional Knowledge holders and practitioners in science and engineering we will build a better nation and a healthier, more sustainable world.
