We joined the French Embassy & Cinema for Peace in Berlin for a screening of The Cranes Call - a real-time crime thriller following war crimes investigator Anya Neistat in Ukraine.

The message was clear: no peace without justice.

The bleaching isn’t over.
WA’s reefs are still facing extreme heat stress. The Gulf is at Alert Level 5 - the highest on the scale - while others remain at Levels 3 & 4.
Keep speaking up. Keep pushing for change.

The ocean’s biggest mystery just got clearer! 🐋

Scientists at Ningaloo Reef saw a male whale shark give a female a love bite - a clue to how these giants find a mate. With males outnumbering females 3:1, this discovery is key to their conservation.

The more we look into the presence of harmful chemicals in our (plastic) products and in our bodies, the more we realise how complex the data we need really is.

Open-access resources like this help bring all the relevant data together in one place so decision-makers can better prioritise.

This is Ningaloo Reef – once full of life, now ghostly white. For the first time on record, deep corals are bleaching due to an unprecedented marine heatwave. This is what extreme heat stress looks like.

AI is moving fast - but we still have time to shape its future and ensure it works for us and our environment, and not against us.

We are working with partners at the #AISummit to push for people-centred AI policy with meaningful guardrails on development.

Nearly three years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, families still urgently need protection and humanitarian aid.

At the #Davos CEOs for Ukraine forum, Andrew Forrest joined President Zelenskyy and global leaders to reaffirm our support. #WEF25

Humanitarian aid is over-stretched and under-funded, but it’s essential for lasting recovery. Following the Gaza ceasefire agreement, we’re at #Davos with partners to discuss safeguarding humanitarian principles and ensuring the most vulnerable aren’t left behind. #WEF25

Real Zero isn’t just about cutting emissions - it’s about protecting lives and communities. #wef25

Mandatory human rights due diligence laws are key to accountability and fairness. Ending modern slavery shouldn’t be optional - it’s time for business and government to unite and act. #WEF25 #Davos
