Common Threads
Common Threads is a First Nations-led organisation that builds the power and coordination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander movements.
This Groundswell grant supported Common Threads to build the power, coordination and visibility of First Nations-led climate action across Australia. The funding helped convene regional climate dialogues, develop shared policy demands, train and support First Nations storytellers, and build a national narrative campaign grounded in community priorities. The work also strengthened First Nations organising in the lead-up to COP31, with a focus on climate justice, cultural heritage, Native Title, just transition and ensuring First Nations communities have greater power to shape the policies and decisions affecting Country.
Groundswell support helped Common Threads build the power and capacity of First Nations climate leaders, campaigners and organisations. The grant supported movement-building, advocacy, organising and collaboration to strengthen First Nations leadership in climate action and ensure Indigenous voices and solutions are at the forefront of major national and global climate decisions.
