Australia's total energy supply remains dominated by fossil fuels, with greenhouse gas emissions from our health care sector rising to their highest level since 2010.

COVID‐19 pandemic‐related shifts in patterns of health care demand are likely to have contributed to this large increase.

Exposure to heatwaves is growing in Australia, increasing the risk of heat stress and other health threats such as bushfires and drought.

But our capacity to respond is declining, with the number of volunteer firefighters and support staff at its lowest point since 2009–1.

Litigation is central to efforts to compel governments and corporate actors to undertake more ambitious climate change goals.

This year’s report shows Australia has become a hotspot for health & climate litigation, with the second highest number of such cases globally. 💪

"Sadistic glee" - such an apt way to capture the grotesque destruction that is unfolding before our eyes.

For anyone keen to better understand the backlash against DEI and so-called “gender ideology”, this book is a must read.

Totally shifted my perspective on the fight we’re in and what’s ahead.

A powerful and incisive defence of science, research, human rights, and our profession of medical journal editors from @bmj.com leadership. 🔥

And a great example of how health & medical institutions must take a stand against authoritarianism.
