Btw @theguardian.com article isn't fake news but moving the whole GA is being conflated with proposing a one-day conference in Geneva.

The vote? 154-2 ..

Increasingly looking like the hosting of 🇺🇳 #CoP31 won't be resolved in Bonn as hoped. In addition to Türkiye proposing Antalya as their host city yesterday (noting the 600,000 hotel beds in the city; pointed remark re.

So I've been getting embedded frames with placeholder 'lorum ipsum' text on the odd article on #TheAge when using our UniMelb @openathens.bsky.social proxy for a while now but I feel like this sort of muck about filler probably isn't doing #auspol MSM any favours for our next gen of journos? 😂

I'm in Bangkok this week at the 🇺🇳 @unescap.bsky.social 81st Commission, which for the first time is focused on #SustainableUrbanization 🏙️

You’ll laugh but I actually googled hand sewing machine after reading this (our not so handheld one being in the shed buried in boxes of “only when really needed” stuff), and I’d be lying if I said I’m not genuinely considering an Xmas request for this fancy stapler..

*Please* tell me you've bought CoP31.au ...

Subnational #climateaction is more critical than ever now.

10 of our amazing cohort of Asian cities (from 🇹🇭 🇮🇩 🇮🇳 🇨🇳 & 🇵🇭 ) presented their city-level project proposals to a panel of climate finance experts at the 🇺🇳’s 12th World Urban Forum in Cairo over the last week.

This is the way ✊

Can't quite believe that it has been 10 years nearly to the day since hiking to Everest Base Camp with the most amazing group of people, fundraising for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition.
