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

澳大利亚的环境思想，受土著和英澳观点之间的比较的影响，尚未充分参与不同的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，必须尽可能利用各种适应能力和文化资源。该项目将采用地理和历史的方法来探索不同的移民群体在城市，城市周边和农村澳大利亚的环境参与。这项工作将为国际可持续性辩论提供澳大利亚奖学金，并将为澳大利亚各级政府减缓和适应气候变化的政策方法提供信息。

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.
