Sector Leadership - Future Industries Initiatives

Sector Leadership is a strategic priority of the National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy 2023-28.

Through this priority, we want to create significant change and improvement that benefits all Indigenous people involved in specific sectors. It is about amplifying Indigenous voices to drive the type of change and sector development they want to see.

The priority sectors are:

  • Carbon
  • Renewables and clean energy
  • Environmental markets
  • Inland water
  • Fisheries and aquaculture

These sectors were chosen for various reasons including:

  • There is a window of opportunity that requires time bound action
  • The ILSC has the skills or resources to provide a useful contribution
  • There are known partners ready to act
  • They were raised during the consultation as priorities
  • Indigenous people have a competitive advantage in the sector

In 2024, we engaged with subject matter experts and key Indigenous stakeholders to inform the development of ILSC directed initiatives for each priority sector, guiding our investment and partnership development during the implementation of the National Indigenous Land and Sea Strategy.

The Sector Leadership Future Industries Initiatives outline the ILSC’s response to the challenges and opportunities for Indigenous People and their organisations in the priority sectors.

The Companion Readers on each of the sectors discuss the opportunities and challenges for Indigenous organisations in the sectors.
