Unless we achieve immediate, drastic, unprecedented, annual emission cuts at the source then that means we’re failing when it comes to this climate crisis. “Small steps in the right direction”, “making some progress” or “winning slowly” equals loosing. #COP26 #UprootTheSystem

#COP26: The new draft final decision text published today is not a plan to solve the climate crisis, it’s an agreement that we’ll all cross our fingers and hope for the best. It’s a polite request that countries maybe, possibly, do more next year. That’s not good enough. (1/2)

Our ‘Skin Health Situational Analysis to inform skin disease control programs for the Kimberley’ is now available! 📕 Conducted in 2017 as a precursor to the SToP Trial, it presents all that was known prior to study commencement in 2018. Read it here 🔗 bit.ly/3ntCNbo

The Situational Analysis had 5 key findings ⬇ All of these aspects are needed to achieve healthy skin for all remote living Aboriginal children and to achieve elimination of scabies and skin sores as public health challenges in the Kimberley and throughout Australia.

Ultimately, the children of the Kimberley are our future. #HealthySkin is one aspect of overall good health that will see them thrive and lead our communities forward.
