Experts are calling for urgent action on climate change and the use of Indigenous expertise to prevent catastrophic bushfires.


Former fire and emergency chiefs, ex-defence personnel, Indigenous experts and climate scientists have met to discuss a national bushfire prevention strategy.  Speakers are urging strong action on climate change to prevent a repeat of the Black Summer bushfires which devastated Australia.
