A huge win for people power: 60 countries have now ratified the Global Ocean Treaty, bringing this landmark agreement to life. This will pave the way for high seas marine sanctuaries, giving life the chance to recover and thrive.

By releasing a 2035 emissions target far short of what the best science says is needed to safeguard Australia, the Albanese government has given itself a political & practical problem. There’s only one way out of this mess: 🧵 #auspol

@albomp.bsky.social’s new 2035 climate target is weak, dangerous, and far short of what’s needed. Australia owes the Pacific and frontline communities across Australia a plan that is net zero by 2035, and a fast, fair fossil-fuel phase-out. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Australia’s first Climate Risk Assessment confirms what many already know: the climate crisis is here. The only way to avoid the worse possible scenario is to demand a phase out of fossil fuels. www.greenpeace.org.au/news/everyth...

🚨 BREAKING: @albomp.bsky.social has approved 45 more years of Woodside's dirty gas expansion at the North West Shelf project. ...Risking fragile ecosystems like Scott Reef, and pushing us further away from the 1.5°C limit that Australia committed to. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

If they drill, expect a spill. 🔥 Following disturbing allegations multinational oil and gas corporation ConocoPhillips covered up a methane leak at an export hub in Darwin, the fossil fuel giant, which is currently test drilling for gas in the Otway Basin, can’t be trusted to operate in Victoria.

Documents seen by the ABC suggest the scale of leaking pollutants from Darwin’s first liquefied natural gas plant could be equivalent to 8,300 new cars on the road every year it is in use. ⚠️🌏 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

🚨 BREAKING: In a win for koalas, @colessupermarkets.bsky.social has announced that it will only source deforestation-free beef and other commodities by the end of 2025. ...The final major Australian supermarket to commit to going deforestation-free. www.greenpeace.org.au/news/fight-f...

Scientists say there is emerging evidence of abrupt and potentially unstoppable changes in the Antarctic environment. ...And the changes are heightening the risk of significant sea level rise and the extinction of species, including emperor penguins. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Tough stories recently about bleaching on the GBR and Ningaloo. This year marks the first time reefs on opposite sides of Australia have both bleached. How many more wake-up calls before we act? Without urgent emissions cuts, our precious places could be gone forever. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

This month’s ‘With Love’ is a note of thanks to the amazing volunteers who joined Greenpeace in Canberra to fight for our oceans—and a reminder that we all have the power in defending our democracy from vested interests. www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

This month’s ‘With Love,’ marks the 40th anniversary of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior; and reflects on how, from the depths of grief and anger, was born the unreasonable ambition to take action on an unprecedented scale. Do have a read. www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

On July 10th 1985, the Rainbow Warrior I was bombed and sank in an attempt to silence anti-nuclear protests in the Pacific.⁣ ⁣ We remember our crew member, photographer and dear friend, Fernando Pereira, who was killed, and the spirit that lives on 40 years later:⁣ ⁣ You can't sink a rainbow 🌈🕊⁣

🚨 BREAKING: Greenpeace activists onboard the Rainbow Warrior have taken decisive action to save nine sharks from deadly longlines in the Tasman Sea. ...Seizing almost 20 kilometres of fishing gear and more than 210 deadly hooks from the ocean. #ProtectTheOcean

🚨 The Arctic Sunrise has been banned from entering the port of Nice for the UN Ocean Conference, following a peaceful protest against bottom trawling. But nothing can stop our efforts to #ProtectTheOcean. Take action >> act.gp/42st8VS

Talking points Key moments from the week, making sense of the times we are in; this week with a focus on Sen Murray Watt’s Woodside North West Shelf (NWS) Decision. A thread 🧵

📣 BREAKING: Woodside’s North West Shelf gas extension has been provisionally granted to run until 2070 by Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt. ...Bringing Woodside’s drills a step closer to magnificent Scott Reef, home to threatened species like pygmy blue whales and green sea turtles.

Greenpeace expresses deep alarm at the catastrophic humanitarian toll of the ongoing Gaza conflict, exacerbated by renewed military action known as Gideons’ Chariots and described by Netenyahu’s cabinet in the language of ethnic cleansing. Read the full statement on act.gp/4kyYim4

At least 438,500 blue sharks were caught by longliners across the West & Central Pacific in 2023. ...That’s 48,200 tonnes of bycatch, and if laid nose to tail, would be higher than x110 Mount Everests. 🦈💔 www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Hey @albomp.bsky.social have you seen our message for you in today's copy of The Sydney Morning Herald yet? 👀

Happy 99th birthday Sir David Attenborough. 🌏💚 Thank you for continuing to share the beauty of the natural world with us, and glimmers of hope on a planet where our future can sometimes feel bleak.

1/2 If true, these governments are out of touch with what people worldwide urgently want. Nearly three quarters of people across the world's largest economies support higher taxes on polluting companies to raise money for the people who pollute the least. www.businesslive.co.za/bd/world/202...

Australia has chosen climate and nature protection over the Trumpist agenda of destruction. #federalelection #auspol

Election week: The good, okay, and ugly 👀🍿 Coming May 3rd to a polling booth near you. #auspol

📣 NEWS: Ahead of the federal election, all parties must support a moratorium on deep-sea mining. ...Following The Metals Company's decision to forge ahead with its plans to commercially mine the Pacific seabed after Trump’s executive order to greenlight the practice. #auspol #deepseamining

Peter Dutton insists he ‘believes in climate change’ after refusing to say if impacts of global heating worsening #Climate

📣 NEWS: We are disappointed by @albomp.bsky.social's announcement that if re-elected, his party will formally bid to co-host COP31 with the Pacific in South Australia. ...And not a city in the Pacific Ocean. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Together. 💚✊

🚨 BREAKING: Greenpeace activists have crashed the Coalition’s Federal Election campaign launch this morning at the Liverpool Catholic Club in Western Sydney dressed in hazmat suits and gas masks. Their message? Don’t risk Dutton’s nuclear disaster. ☢️❌

The latest edition of my ‘With Love’ newsletter is an invitation to reflect on the wonder that the natural world invokes in us, the heartbreak of extinction, and why we need elected representatives who are committed to protecting nature. www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

Labor’s $2.3bn pledge to make home batteries more affordable is great news for emissions and energy bills. Thousands of homes are already cutting or even eliminating their energy bills with solar & storage—a proven solution for climate and cost of living. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

The Coalition wants to drop fines for companies that don't comply with #NVES legislation. This means slower emissions cuts and slower access to affordable EVs. It's hard to imagine who benefits from this policy except for the petrol car lobby. #auspol www.greenpeace.org.au/news/speedin...

The (greedy, dangerous, and desperate) Metals Company has announced its plans to bypass procedure at the International Seabed Authority (ISA) by applying for a mining licence under the US mining code, effectively turning its back on its Pacific sponsoring states.

Greenpeace will always stand for a thorough process in protecting our environment. 🌏💚

The #EPBC amendment bill to give the salmon industry a loophole and push the #MaugeanSkate closer to extinction is now law. This is a rock-bottom moment. Labor needs to rebuild its shattered credibility by taking a strong nature agenda into the election. www.greenpeace.org.au/news/time-fo...

Greenpeace has been around for fifty years. And in that time we have been bombed, sued, shot at, mocked, arrested, insulted and laughed at. But in these times, we don't give up. Because you can't sink (or sue) a rainbow. 🌈🕊️ #WeWillNotBeSilenced

Tonight’s #Budget2025 comes just after @AlboMP's pro-extinction bill to weaken nature laws passed the House of Reps. It’s never been more important that solutions to protect nature and reduce emissions, are properly funded. I'll be sharing some analysis here: 🧵 #auspol
