This week the Let Me Sum Up podcast sums up the climate and energy measures in the 2025-26 Federal Budget – admittedly slim pickings, leaving ample opportunity for @frankiemuskovic.bsky.social, @tennantreed.bsky.social and I to play armchair Treasurer!

Puff piece on @abc-news.bsky.social #abc730 program tonight about possible future gas shortage in Victoria was an overt attempt to peddle the gas industry’s ’drill, baby drill’ agenda.
We don’t have a gas shortage…just a shortage of political constraints on unfettered gas exports

What do we do with the gas grid when gas demand declines?

I partnered with @richardlowes.bsky.social @regassistproj.bsky.social & @ckemfert.bsky.social @diw.de to explore this question.

We propose 5 steps for dealing with this challenge.

I now realise I have shared too many resources :)

Didn’t even get to the circular economy ones, like the below:

Another batch, this time on nature. Two resources, with the first a review on what we needed to do to make the built environment more nature-friendly and biodiverse as we thought nature would become an issue of investable concern.

A few more resources that we’ve put out.

When we redeveloped Green Star, we wanted to move away from a narrow view of resilience to one that encompassed community and social resilience, so we put out a nice primer on why we did what we did :)

Very excited to be consulting on Green Star Futouts, the first rating tool in our system to put a circular economy as our key driver. Look forward to hearing what people think.

I’m gonna list resources to get myself introduced to Bluesky :)

1) A practical guide to upfront carbon reductions, helps you understand what you need to do to get started on what is likely to be the largest source of building emissions for new buildings.

I was very excited to see this report on sufficiency come out during the COP madness, and even more surprised to see @lloydalter.bsky.social be quoted pretty much right upfront! (Get it? I’ll here all day). Good recommendations. Thinking about to make these reality.

Extremely proud to have launched our second report with USGBC, BRE, Alliance-HQE, and Singapore GBC. Our new call to action aims to highlight the need to have better sustainable finance systems to scale the decarbonisation and adaptation of the built environment
