Happy Global Wind Day! 💨

Global Wind Day is a day to celebrate the power of wind energy and its potential to reshape our energy systems, decarbonise our economies, boost jobs and create a cleaner, healthier future for current and future generations.

Clean energy from wind will improve our air, save us money and reduce the pollution fuelling climate change, saving lives and improving the health of all Australians. It's a win-win-win(d) !

DEA recently joined the RANZCP, the Black Dog Institute, and others in signing an open letter warning children's concerns about climate change should not be pathologised as an anxiety disorder, when it is often a rational response to an urgent global threat.

“There’s a conversation Australia keeps avoiding. It is that the same industry we collectively subsidise to the tune of $16.3 billion a year is quietly killing us” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at the Australia Institute.

“The science is not in dispute.”

“In August 2024, Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) delivered their verdict at Parliament House: fossil fuels are a health hazard. Not a risk. Not a concern. A hazard – the same framing medicine eventually adopted for to***co, asbestos and leaded petrol.”

“They found that fossil fuel pollution is already killing more Australians than car crashes, alcohol and gambling combined.”

“That figure should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Instead, the industry responsible is allowed to spend millions on advertising and sponsorships, with no mandatory health warnings of any kind.”

Happy World Environment Day 🌱

This year's theme, "Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future," reminds us that nature is one of our most powerful allies in tackling climate change. By learning from and protecting the natural systems that sustain us, we can build a healthier future for current and future generations.

Nature gives us everything we need. This World Environment Day, let’s give something back by caring for the planet that cares for us.

Healthy Planet, Healthy People 💚
