Pleasure to meet a visiting delegation from Daegu City, South Korea this morning, hosted by ICLEI Oceania City of Melbourne ICLEI Korea Office.

Fossil fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion in 2022. With global temperatures rising to unprecedented levels, subsidies should be scaled back to help slow climate change. More in our blog. imf.org/en/Blogs/Artic…

In the face of ongoing crises and escalating change, the need for policy to quickly transform urban Australia is daunting. Problems, wicked in their complexity, require innovative, ethical solutions.

I guess now Katharine runs the press conference eh @AndrewProbyn?

@Murpharoo - always one of the most well read #auspol msm voices on the #climatecrisis - go well. I do hope your expertise can be used to back up some sorely needed climate policy action before this term is out.

Excited to launch the Oceania Institute University of Melbourne today!

Absolutely stoked for our fabulous Centre Director ᴍɪᴄʜᴇʟᴇ ᴀᴄᴜᴛᴏ.

You’ve built a space here at @Unimelb for international urban researchers (especially ECRs) that I couldn’t be prouder to be part of, and that will carry on for many years to come!

Auguri MA 🙌

A fond farewell to Maimunah Mohd Sharif as she completes her mandate as UN-Habitat Executive Director and leaves #Nairobi for her home country, #Malaysia . The remaining two @UN “NairobiGirls” will miss you! Warm wishes & thanks for wonderful partnership!

Reckon Geoff Parkes, Catherine Murphy, @TomDecent & co might be interested in the differences between Melbourne Rebels' email to members and the PR that went out from Rugby Australia this morning.

Missing: a quote from Waugh blaming Rugby Victoria.
Anything from #SpringSt Steve Dimopoulos MP?

Disappointed that I couldn’t find appropriate attire for today in @Woolworths … or Coles Supermarkets for that matter.

Never fear though Mr Dutton, I managed to grab a brilliant flag-adjacent shirt from a neat indie store on #SydneyRd .

Change the damn date.

Are we witnessing the beginnings of runaway global warming?

At what point will our governments acknowledge the true scale of the #ClimateEmergency , and the insanity of approving new fossil fuel projects?

The CCA cannot operate effectively when the Chair of its Board cannot preside over meetings due to conflicts of interests. This appears to be an untenable position. But, worse, it undermines the entire governance and transparency of the Climate Change Authority. #auspol #climate
