Darebin Climate Action Now
@darebincan.bsky.social
Grassroots climate action group in the northern suburbs of Melbourne campaigning for a safe and just climate future including an emergency speed transition to 100% renewables and zero emissions. Authorised by A. Sanson 17 Hartington St Northcote 3070
Thank you everyone who contacted MPs and Senator offices in the campaign to make the new nature laws stronger. We now have a new national environment law which has some important improvements but still fails the climate test. Incredulously climate pollution won't be taken into account in decisions.

COP30
Despite signing the Belem declaration, Australia stayed silent on fossil fuel phase out.
That means it is not part of the formal obligations on countries.

Chris Bowen and Australia were notably absent from the main COP30 negotiations, focus instead on negotiating the fine print for Turkiye's hosting of COP31.

Environment Minister Murray Watt announced he’ll table new nature laws by the end of this year. Strong nature laws mean clean air, healthy rivers, thriving wildlife, real jobs & safe climate for our kids. It’s up to the Albanese Government to deliver the laws that nature needs to protect our future.

Great turn out at Sarah Whitty's office today in Fitzroy as part of a national day of action to protest the Albanese government's weak climate targets. We heard passionate speeches from AYCC - the generation that is going to bear the brunt of the government's lack of ambition.
