Really noteworthy that we are within distance of the High Seas Treaty entering into force, a turning point in ocean conservation that marks decades of hard work for this win. Much work ahead on hashing out the mechanics, but this is an important milestone. theconversation.com/the-historic-h…

Only two years left in our carbon budget to meet 1.5°C, warn scientists—there could not be a more stark or urgent warning that we must act quickly to secure a liveable world for future generations. We ignore these warnings at our own peril. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The NSW government's relief & recovery payments budget has increased tenfold since the Black Summer bushfires; Treasury expects costs to reach $24bn/year by 2070. Don’t let anyone tell you that climate action costs too much. It is inaction we can't afford. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/t…

Fantastic news from Victoria: gas hot water systems will be phased out, new buildings to be all-electric, rental properties subjected to higher energy efficiency standards. A major step towards phasing out gas; it's time for other govts to follow suit. abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…

Good piece from Nick O’Malley on the global impact of the never-before-seen clip of bottom trawling in David Attenborough’s ā€˜Ocean’—and how it has silenced global fishing giants. This world-changing documentary is absolutely a must-watch. smh.com.au/environment/co…

Fossil fuels like the gas that Woodside wants to dig up and burn for decades are robbing young people of a safe, secure future. Always great to see our elected representatives speaking up for young Australians and future generations. Dave Kelly watoday.com.au/politics/weste…

The East Coast has just come out of yet another extreme weather event. As communities pick up the pieces, we need to remember that events like this are exacerbated by climate change. We must transition away from fossil fuels to keep our communities safe. theconversation.com/warmer-seas-ar…

Important piece by Matt Kean: South Australia’s deadly algal bloom and marine heatwave should be the wake-up call the Australian government needs to deliver a 2035 climate plan that cuts emissions at the speed and scale demanded by the science. afr.com/policy/energy-…
