Great piece from @rossgittins.bsky.social in the SMH today.

It references a new report from @richarddenniss.bsky.social on how Australian governments game their climate targets to conceal their lack of climate action.

We call on institutions of higher education to:
- acknowledge the scale of this catastrophe
- review & disclose partnerships that may be enabling war crimes
- support faculty & staff conducting advocacy, research & teaching on Palestine
- amplify the voices of Palestinian health professionals

"We’re still opening new gas and coal projects.

"At the same time, the Government wants a pat on the back for slightly more ambitious domestic targets."

Doctors warn weak emissions targets ignore public health Healthy Planet, Healthy People

DEA condemns the government’s weak 62-70% emissions target, which fails to protect the health of Australians and our environment from climate change.

When will our government accept its ethical responsibility to put the health of the nation ahead of coal and gas exports?

Full media release below 👇

A target of 62-70% will lead to well over 2°C of warming. This decision makes it clear that this government does not care about young people. We won’t stand by while they wreck our future.

We’re still not measuring our reliance on nature as we rush to boost productivity A healthy economy relies on healthy natural systems. But at the economic roundtable, this fact was all but absent.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the greatest values of the environment can't be measured in dollars, they are priceless.

Until economists and others acknowledge this, we can't have honest and meaningful conversations about conserving nature. theconversation.com/were-still-n...
