Climate Collective Zenadh Kes

This grant supported the establishment of Climate Collective Zenadth Kes, a grassroots, Elder-led movement responding to the escalating climate impacts facing the Torres Strait. The funding helped build the foundations for community-led adaptation on Saibai Island, including local coordination, consultation with Elders, a climate needs analysis and a long-term resilience strategy grounded in Ailan Kastom, Lore and Law. The work also supports climate education, wellbeing, language preservation, youth leadership and national and international advocacy, creating a model for self-determined, culturally grounded climate adaptation across Zenadth Kes.
