🌊 Landmark moment for the ocean: The #BBNJ Agreement hits 60 ratifications and accession, triggering its entry into force by Jan 2026!

💙 40% of ratifiers are #SIDS — small in size, giant in resolve.

The goal is universality. Let’s get every country on board. #SIDSLead🧭

Pacific Islanders, we hear your warning that climate poses an existential threat to your nations.

We hear your calls for reassurance that you never lose your statehood or membership in the UN as a result.

Today, I’m making it clear that this is our position as well.

Albanese govt slammed for 'reckless' mine approval.

It defended the decision saying the mine is covered by the safeguard mechanism.

But the safeguard mechanism does not reduce emissions and licenses via offsets, more fossil fuel projects. https://t.co/mCxV2IpL59
