Seed Mob

Seed Mob is an Indigenous youth climate network in Australia.

History

Seed is Australia's first Indigenous climate network and was formed in 2014.[1] It is led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. It was initially a branch of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition but became independent in 2020.[2]

It was cofounded by Amelia Telford.[3] Telford is currently its National Director.[4]

In 2015, Seed, in an alliance of 13 environmental groups, was successful in campaigning for Australia’s four largest banks to rule out funding the Adani coal mine in Queensland.[5]

It is currently campaigning Origin Energy to stop gas fracking in the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory.[3] It produced a film about the campaign called Water is Life in 2019.[6]
