Australia's decision to sign the High Seas Treaty is not just a commitment on paper; it's a pledge to our future generations. 👏🐋

With two thirds of our ocean beyond national jurisdiction, we are one step closer to protecting 30% of marine areas globally by 2030. #UNGA78

169 power generators that were sent from Australia are currently being distributed to areas of the war-torn Ukraine, helping to power homes and save lives. These were the gift of Australian businessman Andrew Twiggy Forrest. @EdwardGodfrey9 #9News

The Global #Plastic Watch uncovered 3,999 #waste sites and found 26% are within 250 meters of a waterway. A further 12% are within 100 meters of a waterway. This increases the chances of our waste #pollution ending up in waterways. The pollution also impacts our #health.

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

At #UNEA5 countries committed to forging a global agreement to #BeatPlasticPollution. Imp. read from @minderoo: there is more single-use plastic waste than ever before.

Critical we reach an ambitious agreement to end the plastic scourge all together.

“Production & environmental dissemination of plastics & chemicals are increasing so rapidly & uncontrollably that they have outstripped global capacity for assessment & monitoring & pose an existential threat to the survival of modern civilisations.” - Dr Tony Worby #COP27

[Minderoo Foundation @minderoo]

Delegates enjoyed an exclusive sneak peek of seabed mining documentary #DeepRising at the #Minderoo Pavilion yesterday, and were joined by film maker @MatthieuRytz; Dr Sandor Mulsow, formerly from ISA; and Minderoo’s Dr Tony Worby in a fireside chat about the project. #COP27

“There is no reason that we should have a lower environmental standard for what happens on the ocean floor to what happens on the terrestrial floor. None whatsoever.”

-Dr Forrest, calling for rigorous scientific testing before seabed mining is allowed to start. #COP27
