Happy #WorldTurtleDay ! 🐢💙

Did you know that marine turtles are among the oldest surviving reptiles in the world - and have been swimming in our oceans for more than 150 million years?!

Looks like Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill will tell the Australian Energy Producers a “reset” is needed in the energy and climate dialogue 'based on the science of climate change”. If she’s reading the same science as the rest of us, surely this means no new gas projects? thewest.com.au/business/oil-g…

Home sweet home 💚🌳

'it's getting pretty hot out there... we expect the number of days over 40 degrees across the northern land surface [of Australia] to increase quite rapidly.'

- Climate Scientist Bill Hare talking about the impacts of climate chaos at the #savescottreef event in #Broome tonight

'we can stop new emissions, but we've all got to get together and make sure that we take action, be vocal, write to Tanya Plibersek, ring her office... urgently'

- Martin Pritchard from Environs Kimberley tonight at the #savescottreef event in #Broome >> savescottreef.org

Tonight, we've teamed up with Environs Kimberley & Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) in #Broome to hear from WAs top climate and nature experts Bill Hare & Ben Fitzpatrick OceanwiseAustralia about #Woodside 's plans to turn pristine coral reef into a massive new industrial gas hub. #SaveScottReef

Huge news out of parliament just now. First, the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards have now become law, meaning Australia will avoid 80 million tonnes of emissions from the transport sector by 2035. Huge congrats to @greenpeaceap’s Electrify team on their great work.

🚨 BREAKING: Australian Government will remove a schedule that would allow its resources minister to override the environment minister when setting approval rules for offshore gas projects.

...Now it must rule out further climate-wrecking gas projects altogether.

Our CEO David Ritter breaks down what #Budget2024 means for the climate, environment, and our Pacific family.

#auspol

The @greenpeaceap crew and I are online and ready to dive into #Budget2024 . We’ll be breaking down the big climate, nature and energy announcements, and what they mean in this thread #auspol 🧵

As we approach #Budget2024 night, I’ve been thinking about the broader context in which our elected leaders are making expenditure decisions—on the future conditions and quality of life for all Australians. #Auspol

⚠️ NEW REPORT: Yesterday we released our 2024 Deforestation Scorecard, exposing how little Australia’s big beef purchasers are doing to address the destruction of forests and nature in their supply chains.

🚨 NEWS: The beef industry will draft their own definition of deforestation ahead of the EU's new legislation that bans goods from deforested areas.

...Anyone else think cleaning up their supply chains would be a better solution? 🐮💩
