<p class="MsoNormal">The known social, economic and environmental challenges facing humanity in this 21<sup>st</sup> century are profound. Unsustainable population growth, biological and cultural diversity losses, social and economic inequalities, and global
warming impacts are placing unprecedented pressure on social-ecological systems (SESs) across the globe; and without intervention, the situation is predicted to get worse. Since the 1980s, the international community’s main response to these challenges has
been ‘sustainable development.’ The ideal of sustainable development seems a good one – development that “…meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland, 1987: para. 27). But for
Indigenous peoples, the reality of sustainable development has and continues to be something less than ‘good’.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This presentation reports some preliminary learnings of a grounded-theory study that is exploring Indigenous ways of living sustainably in remote places. Framed by the United Nations 2015-2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – which
aims to ‘<i>leave no one behind’</i> in the fight to end all forms of poverty, address inequalities, and tackle climate change across the globe – the sustainable development context of two Indigenous case studies will be described. They are: water stewardship
ways of the Nyikina-Mangala peoples of the west-Kimberley region (Western Australia), and nature-based
<i>tabu </i>(taboo) practices of the White Grass people of central-west Tanna island (Vanuatu).
