One year ago today, we were in Canberra for our Health + Climate Forum 🌏

Over those three days, we were surrounded by people who care deeply about the health of their communities and our planet. With so much going on in the world, it’s more important than ever that we have opportunities to come together, share what we’re seeing, experiencing and feeling, and talk about solutions.

We can’t wait to do it all again next month at iDEA 2026.

This year’s conference is happening in Naarm/Melbourne on 9-10 October at the Melbourne Museum. Across two action-packed days, we’ll explore the links between human and environmental health and discuss everyday actions we can all take to create positive change in our communities.

We’d love to see you there 💚

“The future is not somewhere we are going. The future is a place we are creating”

It’s been a very heavy week in the climate world. We are sharing these wise words from Prof Eugenie Kayak to hopefully give you a bit of hope 💚

How many more unnatural disasters need to happen before it's time to talk about climate change?

If not now, when, Anthony Albanese?

In August of 2024 we stood in Parliament House and launched our ‘Fossil Fuels are a Health Hazard’ report.

We are pleased to announce that in 2 weeks time, we’ll be heading back to Parliament to release our new report on the health risks of gas. Stay tuned 👀

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this devastating tragedy.

At least 903 people have died and more than 4,240 people, including 43 Australians, remain missing after a massive wave of ice, mud and rock cascaded more than 170 kilometres down the Bhote Koshi River valley in Nepal.

Early analysis suggests a glacier collapse may have triggered the disaster. While the exact cause is still unclear, scientists have long warned that the Himalayan region is rapidly warming.

Global heating, caused by the burning of fossil fuels, is accelerating glacier retreat and permafrost thaw, destabilising mountain slopes and increasing the risk of landslides, debris flows and floods in the region.

Nepal contributes less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions - it is unjust that those who have contributed least to the climate crisis are now suffering the most.

Governments and fossil fuel companies have a responsibility to stop making the problem worse. For the health of people and planet, we must stop burning fossil fuels.

🌡️🌊 The world's oceans are the hottest they've ever been.

On August 22, the average global sea surface temperature hit 21.1°C - the highest temperature ever recorded.

Rising ocean temperatures have cascading impacts on the health of all life on Earth. Warmer oceans are contributing to more frequent and extreme marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, algal blooms, sea level rise and extreme weather events.

We must keep pressuring our governments to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and take urgent action to protect our marine and coastal ecosystems.
