We recently did submissions on #nuclear energy for Australia
Nuclear would add to #costofliving in #Auspol and is a distraction from phasing out #FossilFuels

If WA Labor approves this, @AustralianLabor and @tanyaplibersek will have to decided whether to approve a new export gas project with 4.3 BILLION tonnes of emissions.
Should play well in progressive marginal seats in the lead up to the election.

Will #COP29 finally deliver the finance needed for a fossil-free future? 💸🇦🇿
This year’s #FinanceCOP in #Baku, #Azerbaijan could be the turning point. We’re calling for at least $5 trillion annually—from Global North to South—for adaptation, mitigation, and loss & damage to ensure a just transition for all.
Let’s make sure big promises turn into real actions, with fair financing and a #FossilFuelTreaty that protects workers, communities, and our climate future. ✊

Australia’s leading environment organisations – @Wilderness, @GreenpeaceAP , and ACF – were out in force outside the @Coles annual general meeting in Melbourne today demanding the supermarket giant commit publicly to eliminating deforestation from its supply chains.
Down down, nature is down. Coles needs to catch up with Woolworths and ALDI.
Our big supermarkets rely heavily on nature - the onus is on them to better protect it.

US Climate Envoy John Podesta at COP29: “The fight is bigger than one election, one political cycle and one country. This fight is bigger still because we are living through a year defined by the climate crisis in every country of the world." bbc.com/news/articles/c20nep…

🚨 Our super funds are still investing in fossil fuels
Next week, AusSuper & ART have member meetings—let’s hold them accountable. Ask them what they’re really doing about methane and climate change.
Methane pollution is a public health crisis. #MethaneTargetNow #ClimateAction

This project isn’t just green—it’s enhancing patient care, supporting the climate, and setting a new standard for healthcare.🏥

Don’t get depressed at #USElection , get active. This means the rest of the world needs to step up, but also many US State and City #climateaction becomes more important. Every fraction of a degree matters. Do read 🧵👇
The policies of a Trump administration will deeply harm US and global climate action. But any predictions that this is ‘game over’ for the climate are wrong. The fight for #climate action in the US will continue at the Federal, state and local level. A few facts to keep in mind.
