Indigenous Carbon Industry Network

The Indigenous Carbon Industry Network (ICIN) is a network of Indigenous-owned organisations that operate across north Australia to develop and deliver carbon projects, mainly through savanna fire management, but also inclusive of any carbon method. Full members of the network include Indigenous carbon project proponents, such as Aboriginal Corporations and Native Title PBCs; and producers of Indigenous carbon credits, such as Indigenous ranger groups. Associate members include other Indigenous organisations with an interest in the carbon industry. The network was auspiced by Warddeken Land Management until 2022 but is currently transitioning to an independent not-for-profit and Indigenous-owned company, ICIN Ltd, that was formed by its members. Our members are currently producing around 1 million carbon credits each year through 35 Indigenous-owned savanna carbon farming projects and have established an industry employing hundreds of people in remote Australia.. The network is united by our Mission and Core Values. Our Mission is to promote and facilitate an active, innovative and Indigenous-led carbon industry supporting healthy country and better livelihoods for Indigenous people. Values We are: • Accessible and Member-driven: We work together to support each other and strive to enable decision-making that reflects the aspirations of members. • Indigenous-led and Empowering: We support more Indigenous voices to be heard and seek to maximise benefits brought by the carbon industry to Indigenous communities. • Respectful: We acknowledge that we all come from different places, yet we seek common ground where we find it. We respect local cultural protocols and are mindful that our industry is grounded in thousands of years of traditional knowledge and practice. • Transparent and Accountable; We are a trusted independent voice for the Indigenous carbon industry. What we do Our objectives are defined in the ICIN Ltd Constitution agreed by all members.
