Seed is Australia’s first Indigenous youth climate network. Follow their work.  Aboriginal communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change. It is already 2 degrees hotter on average in the NT than in anywhere else in Australia. Currently over 85% of the NT is covered in oil and gas exploration licenses. Sign SEEDMOB’s petition asking for a complete ban on fracked shale gas in the Northern Territory. Sign the petition

#RaiseTheAge

Currently, children as young as ten are being forcibly removed from their families and incarcerated across Australia, another issue which disproportionately impacts Aboriginal families.  In 2019 almost 600 children aged 10 to 13 were in detention in Australia. 65% of these children were Indigenous, despite Indigenous people comprising just 3% of Australia's total population across all age groups.
