After the recent attack on Camp Sovereignty in Naarm/ Melbourne, this is an important moment to show solidarity.

📰 Victorian Opposition must come clean on energy plan. We are calling on Vic Liberal leader Brad Battin to rule out #nuclear after federal Nationals MP for Mallee publicly commented that the Coalition “will look at everything including nuclear.” environmentvictoria.org.au/2025/09/05/v...

"Regional Victoria is the canary in the coalmine here. As soon as it becomes unprofitable gas companies cut and run...this will keep happening" During a death spiral, people get hurt - and gas companies want to make sure it isn't them. Great piece by @envirovic.bsky.social -->>>

Can you take a minute to help our friends at @naturensw.bsky.social defend rivers, wetlands and wildlife? Due to a legal technicality, the mighty inland rivers of NSW are being persecuted as if they are stealing their own water. Find out more and take action 👇🏾👇🏻 naturensw.good.do/letthewaterf...

Restoring floodplain wetlands cut carbon emissions by 39% in just one year – plus it boosted drought resilience, soil moisture + water quality! 🌿💧 #Vic study shows nature can bounce back fast when we let water flow. 🔗 www.rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/2025/jul/wetlands #NaturePositive #ClimateSolutions

Our research shows Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export extension will result in 4.3 billion tonnes of emissions. The best way to fight the climate crisis is to stop approving coal and gas projects. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/post/woodsid...

Last week, the #Yoorrook Justice Commission released its final reports – calling for urgent reform across land, water & the environment. Environment Victoria welcomes these findings & stands with First Peoples calling for truth, justice & self-determination.

Want to talk about #Treaty but not sure how? Join Common Threads’ Together for Treaty convo workshop this Sat 12 July, 3–4:30pm AEST. Learn from First Nations leaders + build support for justice. RSVP: events.humanitix.com/treaty-conve... #NAIDOC2025 #TogetherForTreaty #SupportTreaty

MEDIA RELEASE - Environment Victoria supports Yoorrook blueprint for First Nations transformation, putting water on the table for Traditional Owner Treaties First Nations didn't cause climate change, but with responsibilities to Country and economic exclusion, bear unequal share of consequences.

It’s #NAIDOC Week! A time to honour the strength, resilience & achievements of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples. 2025 marks 50 years of NAIDOC, with the theme “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.” How will you be celebrating this week? ❤️🖤💛💚💙🤍

When Europeans colonised Victoria, they didn’t just steal land — they stole water. The #Yoorrook Justice Commission has exposed the myth of “aqua nullius” and calls for First Nations’ inherent water rights to be recognised. #WaterJustice #Treaty

After 4 years & 1,300+ submissions, the #Yoorrook Justice Commission has delivered its final report—confirming the deep, ongoing harm done to #FirstPeoples in #Victoria. 100 recommendations now call us to act. The truth is clear—justice and real change must follow. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

60% of grasslands’ biomass (the total quantity of the living organisms) is below ground 😯 Victoria's native grasslands are incredible & in urgent need of better protection. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/vic...

The rules around gas appliances are changing in Vic, which is great news! Learn why the decision matters, how it impacts you, and why it’s important for lowering bills & cutting pollution 👇 environmentvictoria.org.au/2025/06/23/g...

The City of Sydney has endorsed a Greens-led proposal to ban gas appliances in new residential developments starting from the end of 2025.

#BREAKING We applaud the Vic govt's action to slash our unsustainable reliance on polluting methane gas in homes & businesses. The regulations announced today will mean lower bills, improved conditions for renters & less climate pollution. Full details 👇 environmentvictoria.org.au/2025/06/24/h...

Burning gas indoors is a really bad idea. It produces nitrogen dioxide (aggravates asthma), carbon monoxide (reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen), formaldehyde and benzene (cause cancer). thewest.com.au/opinion/ange...

After walking more than 400km across Victoria, the #WalkForTruth arrives at Parliament House today, carrying the voices and lessons of 4 years of truth-telling led by the Yoorrook Justice Commission. #Yoorrook #TruthTelling #FirstNationsJustice #Treaty

The gas industry has been pushing shameless greenwashing on #MasterChef, & they've been caught out by Ad Standards! The truth is that electrification is the future, and they know it. www.bandt.com.au/ad-standards...

Collapse at Yallourn - Vic's oldest & most unreliable coal power station - leaves until offline for weeks. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

90% of the drop in emissions since 2005 is from counting "land use" (ie the big land clearing that happened in 2005). If you just count actual emissions, we're only 2.8% lower than in 2005

The latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions figures are out, and we are nowhere near on track for the (woeful and inadequate) 43% below 2005 levels by 2030

In which I point out that our Prime Minister might just be stretching the truth a tad when he says that Woodside's North West Shelf extension is needed to firm the Western Australian grid. Did he tell you about how he grew up in social housing?

The Geelong Renewables Not Gas Alliance is disappointed by the Vic govt's approval of Viva's gas import terminal (announced at a business gala, without releasing details to the local community) Significant issues around safety & dredging remain unresolved environmentvictoria.org.au/2025/05/30/v...

As the energy transition ramps up, Australia risks becoming a more unequal society. Here’s what needs to change to avoid windfall savings for the well-off, while everyone else gets whacked with the costs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oil & gas CEOs still haven't realised that destroying the planet for profit is their whole business model 🤔

Today is National Sorry Day – a time to acknowledge and remember the Stolen Generations. Sorry must mean action not just words, and we hope the upcoming Treaty process in Victoria will create real and lasting change.
