Sustainability and climate change adaptation: unlocking the potential of ethnic diversity

澳大利亚的环境思想受到土著和盎格鲁-澳大利亚观点的比较影响，尚未充分参与不同移民知识和做法的贡献。然而，为了应对气候变化世界的挑战，重要的是尽可能利用最多样的适应能力和文化资源。该项目将应用地理和历史方法来探索澳大利亚城市、城市周边和农村不同移民群体的环境参与。这项工作将为国际可持续发展辩论提供澳大利亚学术研究，并将为澳大利亚各级政府的气候变化缓解和适应政策方法提供信息。

Australian environmental thinking, influenced by comparisons between Indigenous and Anglo-Australian perspectives, has yet to fully engage with the contribution of diverse migrant knowledges and practices. Yet in order to face the challenges of a climate changing world, it is important to draw on the most varied adaptive capacities and cultural resources possible. This project will apply geographic and historical methods to explore the environmental engagements of diverse migrant groups in urban, peri-urban and rural Australia. This work will contribute Australian scholarship to international sustainability debates, and will inform climate change mitigation and adaptation policy approaches at all government levels within Australia.
