As part of the United Nations University's innovative and interactive Our World 2.0 web-based project, the United Nations University - Institute of Advanced Studies Traditional Knowledge Initiative (UNU-IAS TKI) and the UNU Media Studio present a video brief about the effects of climate change in Arnhem land, Northern Australia.

The short presentation is told from the perspective of an indigenous Bininj man in Northern Australia and highlights the fire abatement scheme of Western Arnhemland, a carbon offset community programme, gaining a lot of international attention.

The video brief complements the on-going work of the Indigenous Peoples Climate Change Assessment as part of UNU-IAS TKI's Traditional Knowledge and Climate Change programme. This is the third in a series of six web episodes highlighting indigenous perspectives on climate change.
