With an Australia and Pacific-hosted COP likely in 2026, we look at how culture and power intertwine in Pacific civil society and campaigns for climate action

Culture is power in the Pacific — campaign-republic.com
Culture is at the core of what it means to be human. The climate crisis threatens it. Yet it's also what gives people the strength to fight back. Culture is self determination and resistance. In the P...

In 2016 Monash University said it would divest from fossil fuels. The same year it inked a deal with Woodside, Australia's biggest domestic oil and gas supplier, starting a decade-long partnership.

I looked at how the institution was living up to its promises. The short answer: it's not.

Inside the fight to get Monash University to divorce fossil fuels for good
As Monash's partnership with Woodside comes up for renewal, the university is facing pressure from students and staff to ditch the company for good.

"Governments don't act because people are polite, Labor included. They move when the political cost of inaction becomes too high."

Good read & good advice from Martin Zavan @campaign-republic.bsky.social

We have 6 years of an Albanese govt

👉 www.campaign-republic.com/cr-insights/...
Excerpt from Campaign Republic article by Martin Zavan "What can actually move a Labor government? Governments don't act because people are polite, Labor included. They move when the political cost of inaction becomes too high. That means: Public pressure: Creating visible, sustained public demand, not just one-off stunts or polite letters. Narrative power: Shaping public understanding of the issue so that government inaction becomes a political liability. Coalition-building: Partnering with sectors Labor cares about, like unions, healthcare bodies, or regional communities, to create unconventional alliances in places where Labor actually wants to be seen positively. Persistent advocacy: Not just reactive media statements, but ongoing political engagement that combines inside and outside pressure. There's no silver bullet, but there are well-worn patterns we can learn from."

Every single young Australian would need to order 4,888 t-shirts from Temu each year (13 per day) to match Woodside's current emissions.

And to reach Woodside's maximum emissions estimates for the North West Shelf Extension? They would each need to order 214,571 t-shirts. #woodsideenergy

You can't have a net zero by 2050 target and also approve gas projects out to 2070. One is a lie, and it's pretty clear which one it is.
