For the 1st time a COP Presidency has invited representatives of the Small Island Developing States - Tuvalu, Tonga & Barbados - 2 input into the #COP29 Agenda. Let's hope this results in tangible outcomes for the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. @MainaTalia1 @ERCAus

Thank you @jeromelaxale and @SallySitou for raising your concerns about the future of gas strategy. Two excellent local members, both elected at the last election off the back of growing climate concern in their communities.

"This is a plan to expand the industry that's causing climate change, and we're greenwashing it and calling it a solution." "It's sick." Richard explains the issues with the Future Gas Strategy in this video. @RDNS_TAI australiainstitute.org.au/post/video-fut…

This week, in collaboration with @GreenpeaceAP and the Vanuatu Gov, we are hosting a #COP29 Dialogue. This event brings together Pacific gov. officials and CSO reps to strategize, collaborate, and strengthen our partnerships as we look to COP29 and beyond.

Battered by COVID, then the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano, many Tongan workers have done it tough. To support them, check out handicrafts at Pasifiki-Tonga (backed by Tonga National Workers' Council, Tonga PSA and the Handicrafts Workers' Association). pasifikitongarndwebsite.com

“It is cheaper to greenwash in Australia than not.” @pollyjhemming explains how the government’s certification scheme, Climate Active, makes it cheaper & easier for businesses to offset their way to “carbon neutrality” than to invest in reducing real emissions. #auspol #climate

We join the chorus of voices celebrating an ambitious young group with what was thought as an ambitious (some thought impossible) idea of catalysing climate ambition. Truly a well-deserved recognition of the amazing work of Vishal and the young warriors that make up PISFCC 💚✊🏽

🚨ICJ confirms 91 written submissions made on the #ClimateICJAO. The largest ever recorded for an advisory proceedings. These states and IGOs now have until June 24th to submit comments on the written submissions.

As we continue the #AUKUSApril campaign for #NukeFreeFriday it is crucial that we recognize the tension in the geopolitical arena. #NuclearFreeMovement #NoToNukes #NewClearWays #newclearpacific Read more here: theconversation.com/is-japan-joini…

Any carbon credits from the Great Koala National Park would be a sham. The NSW Gov wants to make money for merely enacting a long term policy. This offers no genuine additional emissions reduction-but the credits would be sold to business as a license for climate pollution.

The NSW Labor Govt's promise to create a vast koala sanctuary on the mid-north coast is yet to be fulfilled. There's a startling reason why the native forest continues to be logged, revealed in our new video report feat @StephenLongAus. Watch: australiainstitute.org.au/post/video-rep… #auspol

Introducing our new 'Climate Communities Alliance'. We are people who have been (and continue to be) hit hard by floods, storms, fires, heat, and sea level rise and we want governments to embrace a community-led approach to recovery and climate action. #Climatecommunities2024

Thread:  🧵For April, we spotlight the #AUKUS Security Pact & #RarotongaTreaty. Pacific People stand firm: we demand #NewClearWays, not nuclear weapons, testing, wastewater dumping, or submarines‼️(1/4) #NuclearFreePacific #NuclearJustice #NukeFreeFridays
