We welcome the leadership of the 80+ countries signing onto the proposal for a global roadmap to phase out fossil fuels at COP30.

We urge the Albanese government to back it fully.

As a conservative Liberal senator I see no coherent reason to run away from a net zero target | Andrew McLachlan
As a conservative Liberal senator I see no coherent reason to run away from a net zero target | Andrew McLachlan
We cannot claim to be of the right of politics yet shy away from targets that hold us to account, especially ones that were once the Liberals’ own * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast It has been suggested to me that my views on our society’s relationship with the natural world come from my Celtic upbringing fused with the Anglican faith, which I still practice. My starting point when considering any matter concerning the health of our environment is that nature must be at the centre of all decision making. For the world sustains us, and we must be respectful to it in all our endeavours. As a Liberal senator with a “conservative” disposition, this manifests itself as a deep and abiding commitment to leave the planet healthier than when I was born. I confess that there are times during debates in the party room when I reflect whether I am in a “real conservative” minority. Continue reading...

And he still can't say when they will actually release the full details of their energy policy.

Dan Tehan on RN saying that governments will pay to keep existing ageing coal fired power stations open, as well as doing lots more gas drilling. While claiming 'the market will dictate'. Lots of talk of 'base load', misunderstanding modern energy systems.

What a mess.

Watch the Liberals celebrate abandoning communities to worsening climate disasters.

We see you. We won’t forget.

Anyone remember that famous image of Liberal MPs celebrating the passage of the carbon tax repeal bill? 2014.

Today's pre meeting 'power walk' by the conservatives had the same vibes.

Jack lost his home in Rosedale - so he knows what climate damage really costs.

It’s time to RAISE the funds needed to pay for climate damage by making big polluters pay their fair share.

Extreme weather is already costing Australians BILLIONS - and without action, it will only get worse. 📈

That's why it’s time to make big polluters pay.

Inaction on climate is costing our communities thousands in skyrocketing insurance costs, repair bills and disaster recovery.

Climate impacts will impact all Australians - but our stories are powerful, and our stories can drive real policy change.

I reckon a fossil fuel being heavily promoted at climate week is a bad thing
Natural gas is making a quiet but highly placed comeback at Climate Week. At a number of events on Tuesday, senior officials made a case for gas as essential for energy security and a buttress to renewables. Anna Bjerde, managing director of operations at the World Bank, told a small group of reporters that the lender is agnostic about which technologies it helps finance to improve access to electricity around Africa. The main focus of that work has been on solar, she said, but “gas has to be discussed and pursued” for providing baseload power. “We should be leaning in to help countries develop gas.” That view should get a warm reception from the Trump administration, which has reportedly been pressuring the World Bank to unwind its restrictions on financing oil and gas production. And it was a view echoed in a separate briefing at the Rockefeller Foundation offices by Daniel Chapo, president of Mozambique, who said he is working to expand the country’s large hydroelectric dam while also pursuing gas production deals with Western drilling companies, and hopes to use more of that gas for domestic power plants. In the evening, between glasses of prosecco and mini lobster rolls at a reception in a high-end Times Square hotel, Ditte Juul Jørgensen, director-general for energy at the European Commission, took the podium alongside Toby Rice, CEO of major US gas producer EQT, and lauded the security benefits of LNG. “The energy war in Ukraine has come to redefine our strategy of independence,” she said. “The energy transition will continue to be our path, but we will need gas for many years to come.”

She may be on leave, but Jo couldn’t stay quiet on our 2035 climate targets.

Yr 12 students are setting the bar high for their exams right now. Why can’t our govt set the bar high for their future?

62-70% is not good enough. Find and tell your Labor MP & Senators: aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members

At last week's hearing on the National Climate Risk Assessment, our CEO Serena Joyner explained: fossil fuel corporations rake in record profits, while we're left to pay for the climate damage they cause.

It's time they paid their fair share.

Australia’s 2035 target of 62–70% isn’t strong enough. If every country did this, we’d exceed 2.4°C of warming.

That would bring more frequent and dangerous bushfires, more deaths from heat and smoke, and 5 times the damage bill.

The government have announced their target of 62-70% emissions reduction by 2035. We know this is not enough.

After the release of the alarming National Climate Risk Assessment, we are ashamed the government has set such a dangerously low target.

We are deeply disappointed.

Fiona Lee lost her home in 2019. Today, there are 2 big things happening in her life: she’s installing sprinklers on her new home - and the government is going to reveal its 2035 climate targets.

We are doing what we can to stay safe, we need governments to do the same.

After the release of the National Climate Risk Assessment, we now await the announcement of Australia's 2035 climate targets.

The govt. can no longer afford to delay strong action - and that means real emissions reduction and a strong climate target to keep people safer.

But there’s hope. We can act now to protect lives and our communities...

Murray Watt has just signed off on an expansion of Glencore’s Ulan coal mine near Mudgee - granting access to 18.8 million extra tonnes of coal until 2035. That means an additional 663 million tonnes of Scope 3 emissions when that coal is burned.

The Albanese Government IS apprently very comfortable with approving Woodside's North West Shelf LNG facility until 2070. The centrepiece of *the most polluting fossil fuel project in the southern hemisphere*

When-if ever-will this government stand with communities, not corporations?
