“Water you waiting for?"
In Srey’s village in Cambodia, Oxfam and local partner 3SPN worked with families to install a solar-powered water system. Now, clean water is just a switch away.

According to 's new Disaster Divide report, the world's richest 0.1% contributed to extreme heatwaves nearly 400 times more than the poorest half of the global population.
How is that fair?
It isn't.

We need our governments to tackle climate inequality and hold the biggest polluters accountable. Because all people and our planet deserve a safe climate and a fair future. 🌏

No matter what emoji you pick, we'd love to take action together with you (because a safe climate is possible, with all of us working together!)💚

Tell Australia to step up on climate action. Link in bio.

Communities are grieving loved ones lost to worsening climate disasters. Recovery will take years. Yet countries and communities on the frontlines of climate change are still being left to shoulder the burden.

Australia spends $16 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies, and only $1.4 billion on international climate funding for low income countries and communities. Leaving communities most impacted by climate change worse off.

Australia, it’s time to step up.

Our thoughts are with Helen Haines MP, her family and her community following the horrific attack yesterday. Gender-based violence has no place in our communities or our politics. Women must be able to participate in public life freely, safely and without fear.

At Australia’s Parliament House, Eunice Wotene, Executive Director of , reminds us what it means to be a good neighbour.

Climate change is impacting communities across the Pacific today. As a country that has benefited from the coal, oil and gas industry driving the crisis, Australia has a responsibility to uphold and strengthen its commitments, working alongside our neighbours to protect and preserve our shared future. 🌏💚

Every year on 17 October, we mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

At Oxfam, we believe that in a wealthy world, poverty shouldn’t exist. Poverty doesn’t just happen. It’s driven by inequality.

One of the biggest challenges to ending poverty today is climate change. From floods and rising sea levels to droughts and bushfires, climate disasters are pushing millions of people deeper into poverty and making recovery harder.

Last year, climate disasters cost small island states and the world’s poorest countries $16 billion.

They also affect approximately 41 million people every year, often taking away livelihoods, culture, identity and lives.

The people who have contributed least to the climate crisis are often paying the highest price.
That’s why climate justice and poverty justice go hand in hand.

Join us in calling for a safer climate, a fairer future, and a world without poverty. Link in bio.

When climate change fueled disasters destroy homes, people lose more than buildings.
They lose memories, security and the future they were building for their families. Recovery will take years. Yet countries and communities on the frontlines of climate change are still being left to shoulder the burden.

Australia spends $15 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies, and only $1.4 billion on international climate funding for low income countries and communities, leaving communities most impacted by climate change worse off.

Australia, it’s time to step up.

In this interview from ABC RN Breakfast with Sally Sara, Dr Maina Talia, Tuvalu's Climate Change Minister, speaks about the consequences of continued fossil fuel dependence and the need for Australia and other nations to take stronger climate action ahead of COP31.

One year after its agreement, the ceasefire in Gaza is in name only. The genocide and suffering continues, with Israeli forces killing and injuring Palestinians daily, and ongoing blocks to the entry of lifesaving aid, medical supplies and other vital repair equipment and building materials. This is not a ceasefire. The killing and deprivation in Gaza must not be normalised under the cover of an agreement. The international community’s responsibility does not end with an agreement on paper.
