Yidinji Proposition next steps in 2025 - UNDERWAY
EAROPH Australia has spent the past three years promoting Climate Justice in collaboration with Australian First Nations and Pacific communities. This included convening webinar events in the lead up to COP 27, facilitating the Yidinji Declaration in the lead up to COP 28, and preparing the Yidinji Proposition as a implementation tool in the lead up to COP 29. We have now revised the Yidinji Proposition to reflect the outcomes from COP 29, and we have presented relevant parts of the Proposition in a Budget Submission to the Australian Government.
EAROPH Australia has put forward this Submission with proposals for inclusion in the 2025 Australian Government budget, addressing what we consider would be in Australia’s best national interest. The background to the Submission is contained within the Yidinji Proposition. These proposals have been developed by a working group of Australian First Nations people working with Pacific Islanders over the past two years, and we believe they now provide a practical framework for responding to the outcomes of COP 29.

'Diversifying Housing Solutions' webinar & EAROPH Australia AGM - May 16-17, 2024 - ACCOMPLISHED
We had another successful AGM in which we not only went through the formalities but refreshed our EAROPH Australia Executive Committee, special congratulations to Adithya R. Ranjith as our new Public Officer and Martin Butcher as our new Secretary. We also continued the work in creating a clearer and more focussed business plan for the year ahead, to maximise EAROPH's impact for sustainable human settlements in Australia and beyond.
The Diversifying Housing Solutions webinar was another success, with an incredibly diverse and engaging line-up of speakers on some of the crucial innovations to tackle our growing housing crisis.
It was a great opportunity for EAROPH Australia to partner with such a respected and dynamic organisation as Regional Development Australia (RDA) Sydney we couldn't have delivered such a successful webinar without you.
And the generous sharing of the time, expertise and insights from all the speakers (in no particular order): Federico J. Fernandez, Andy Fergus, Andres Lopez, Ian Ugarte, Marco Cubillos, Margie McKay, Annette Waters, Robert Dodd, Michael Wheatley and Graham Osborne.
And, finally, to all the participants that joined us and asked many incisive questions to the presenters

6th Pacific Urban Forum September 5-7, 2023 - Podcasts
The Pacific Urban Forum (PUF) seeks to accelerate the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals through multi-stakeholder partnerships. EAROPH was a partner in the 6th PUF, held in Suva, Fiji.
EAROPH Australia was there to share and show our continued commitment to not only the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs but also the Pacific Urban Partnership, as one the key partners. Our support becomes ever more pressing as we need to collectively address the disproportionate impacts that climate change is having on our Pacific neighbours.
It was also an opportunity to further the reach and partnerships for the The Yidinji Declaration in favour of an Indigenous Climate Justice Charter that started at the Climate Justice Workshop in Cairns, earlier in 2023.
EAROPH engaged arts Nexus Studio to capture some of the knowledge and insights of the participants at the PUF, a record of what was discussed directly from the people that lead the conversation. Enjoy these podcasts, we hope they give you a glimpse of what it was to be at the 6th PUF and inspire you to reflection and, hopefully, take positive action.
