Happy Antarctica Day! Today I celebrated by hosting a “draw your own Antarctic flag” workshop at a local creative space with kiddos from 3-9yrs old 🥰 We covered the Antarctic Treaty, the cool plants and animals in Antarctica and working together to protect nature 🇦🇶

This week I hosted a screening of Antarctica The Giant Awakens, with a ice-side chat with Director Liz Courtney ❄️ We covered the need for youth leadership, diversity in STEM and how we all have the tools to turn our jobs into climate careers ☀️ Huge thanks to everyone who came along!

I’m just like Sisyphus except every time I action an email by sending an email I get another email in return

With forecasts of ~40°C in Wollongong tomorrow, a small friends 2nd bday & my gym xmas party have been cancelled Even though it’s a shame we won’t be able to celebrate together, I think this shows a level of maturity & preparedness to put safety first in a climate of extremes ☀️

So how's Australia doing on Ambition, Energy & Loss & Damage Fund, you say? Who wants what at #COP28
