At #ISBA30, Secretary-General Carvalho stressed that ISA is the only universally recognized legitimate framework for activities in the Area, highlighting the principle of the common heritage of humankind, and stressing that any unilateral action would be a violation of international law. #UNCLOS

At #ISBA30, the Assembly deferred a decision on the second periodic review of the operation of the deep seabed regime until its next session and—for the third consecutive session—could not reach consensus on if a general environmental policy is needed

🚨 Deep-sea mining would be devastating and a financial dead end.
We urge the ISA to #DefendTheDeep:
⏸️ Adopt a moratorium until science proves no harm
❌ Reject efforts to rush a mining code
🛡️ Defend multilateralism
🌊 Prioritize ocean health over corporate greed! DefendTheDeep.org #ISA30

A judge concluded today that the Australian government “did not engage with or give real or genuine consideration to the best available science" when setting emission reduction targets.

Although the legal case was lost, this is a moral victory for all victims of climate change.
If I can sum up what just happened as neatly as possible: a Federal Court judge found the Australian government had ignored climate science when setting emissions targets, appeared to want to find for the applicants, but said his hands were tied by the law of negligence in Australia.

Federal Court Justice Wigney is beginning his summary of his decision in Pabai Pabai v Commonwealth with a sketch of the changes to the Torres Strait islands. He is describing profound changes to the landscape.
