For half an hour on Friday, Australia was running on more solar power than coal. Most of the power came from rooftop solar panels. Don't let them tell you it can't be done. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmegency #climate #energy #renewables

Congratulations Yarra Energy Foundation and their community battery - finalists in the Premiers Sustainability Awards! sustainability.vic.gov.au/psa-2021-final…

We know! That's why Yarra aims to increase our tree canopy on public land by 25% by 2040. Making great progress.💚

Coffee Break @WithResearchers is a great series of conversations on climate action in cities - lots of fun to join Kes McCormick for this one in Malmo.

With the Climate Change Bill through the Senate (hooray!), the federal government needs to work with local government to deliver. Hear more in this pre-election interview with Kes McCormick for Coffee Break @WithResearchers. How things can change! youtube.com/watch?v=psKmTg…

Local governments will be critical in implementing the next Post 2020 Framework on Biodiversity at #COP15. ICLEI Oceania 's latest webinar has the inside story here. youtube.com/watch?v=G3q2rD…

Many cities are already leading the transition to renewable energy, setting credible net-zero targets and building climate-resilient infrastructure. The actions cities take locally to create a sustainable world will reverberate globally. #WorldCitiesDay

Ambitious and fantastic. On the eve of #COP15 a People's Plan for Nature will help build agreement on protecting nature. 👏involve.org.uk/node/2685

Great effort by Yarra Energy Foundation to bring more renewable energy to local Yarra communities. Thanks to @BurnleyBackyard and YCAN for their support!
