Australia’s Queensland state is experiencing some of its worst flooding in its history as remnants of Tropical Cyclone Jasper continue to dump phenomenal rainfall totals to the Cairns region of northern Qld. Two rain gauges have recorded over 660 mm (26 inches) of rain in just 12 hours, provisionally breaking the previous all-time state record of 617 mm set in 1972. Non-stop rain leads to widespread major flooding along Qld’s North Tropical Coast. Barron River at Myola is experiencing its highest flood levels in more than 100 years.

"Doing this research because I have responsibility to take care of Country: I'm the manifestation of my ancestors". Climate change compounding the disparities caused by colonisation." Amba-Rose Atkinson

#Climatechange discussions focus on technological and financial fixes, "instead of a restructuring of #power relations and relationships to the Country, waterways, and communities that we are connected to." Amba-Rose Atkinson @Prof_FSultana

Now hearing from Amba-Rose Atkinson at #IndigenousClimateJustice21 on the scoping review, which included 194 papers and shows wide ranging health impacts of climate change

[Lowitja Institute @LowitjaInstitut]

Amba-Rose Atkinson talking to the indirect/direct impacts on health & well-being of climate change:

"Water shortage, housing infrastructures, intangible losses such as caring for country and forced relocation due to rise of water levels" #IndigenousClimateJustice21

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

Blown away by the incredible passion, leadership and commitment of these young people at #COP28

They are here demanding change.

Demanding change for their future.
Demanding change for the most vulnerable.

These are the leaders of the tomorrow.

Loved being part of this workshop & meeting other Indigenous peoples doing incredible work with their communities 🌎✨

We know our communities best & our approaches to environmental & public health research are invaluable & necessary to look after our Country & communities 🌱✨

[Amba-Rose @amba_rose]

Reflecting on today’s International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples & all the incredible mob - particularly youth - I’ve met who are advocating for the rights of their Country & culture 🌏🌎🌎 grateful to have met you 🖤💛❤️

Essentially… Indigenous ways of living with the land, time-tested by thousands of years. One Health or not, nothing will change the state of the planet unless Indigenous peoples & our cultural rights are upheld, & the systems of power undermining these rights are dismantled

[Amba-Rose @amba_rose]

Excited to present my research at COP28 this afternoon, especially as today is COP’s first health day
