Australia’s 2035 emissions reduction target does not match the urgency of the crisis outlined in the govt’s own climate risk assessment, nor its Paris commitments, say 60 scientists in an open letter to PM Albanese. #auspol www.theage.com.au/environment/...

Unions and environment groups call for a strong 2035 target as National Climate Risk Assessment shows “truly devastating consequences... will result if we do not act with urgency.” #auspol www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/polit...

One in five koalas in NSW will be protected from logging after the state govt unveiled its long-awaited plan for the Great Koala National Park. au.news.yahoo.com/massive-win-...

Given that the koala has been recognised as vulnerable to extinction since 2012, and therefore should be protected from harm, this underscores the failure of the current laws to keep trees in the ground and prevent the further decline of the species. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

More clearing of koala habitat has been approved under Australia’s nature laws in 2025 so far than in any other year since the marsupial was listed as a threatened species. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BCA member Fortescue criticises climate modelling commissioned by lobby group that underplays economic opportunities and does not factor in cost of inaction. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The BCA modelling completely ignores the costs of letting climate change rip: increasingly pricey rescue and clean up from extreme weather events + massive impacts on multiple industries including agriculture, fishing, insurance and tourism. #auspol www.acf.org.au/news/big-bus...
