LEAN ACT

A grassroots movement for real climate action.
We're about people, jobs, stronger targets, more renewables, less pollution and better policy.
Join us!

[Andrew Leigh @ALeighMP]

Splendid to join my colleague @AliciaPayneMP in engaging with members of the Labor Environment Action Network (LEAN) about the need to update environmental laws for the 21st century. #auspol

[Ella Factor @ellabel]

Well said Dr Leigh! Great speech and strong answers at Q&A inc mention of #EnvironmentLawsfor21stCentury

[EU in Australia @EUinAus]

Lively conversation about overall sustainability, about shift in global economy, Caroline Lambert explains that of course the fact is eventually resources will run out, so #EU focus shifted to #circulareconomy ♻️ #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Some people worry that focusing on #ClimateAdaptation will distract from mitigation. But knowing we are facing imminent impacts has much more cut through with decision makers - it’s happening now, not just after 2100 #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Which they really aren’t doing yet

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Moving from tracking past emissions to focusing on #Transitions requires corporations to properly model scenarios including impacts of climate change in the future AND DISCLOSE THEM! #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Corporations that take #ClimateRisk into account in their business strategies perform better on the stock market than those that don't. It's just sensible to avoid #strandedassets #ANUClimateUpdate18

[ANU Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions @ANU_ICEDS]

Broadening of frost window with climate change is a real problem, causing crop production losses of up to 40% @StevenCrimp @ANUFennerSchool @scienceANU #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

More bad news: wine and agriculture production already being impacted by more frosts happening, and longer later frost windows. Pity the National Party don’t seem to care! #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Climate Surprises: changes in Climate that trigger abrupt changes in physical, biological or human systems. Not the good kind of surprise, probably better to anticipate and prepare! #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

The Physics are simple: the warmer the air the higher its moisture capacity - making rainfall extremes more intense - that means more floods! Dr May, BOM #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

Anyone thinking we can leave action till 2029 to solve 2030 is delusional- it’s inter generational theft, and it won’t work! #ANUClimateUpdate18

[ANU Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions @ANU_ICEDS]

Making climate data tangible, @mtchl & @gravitron @ANU_design have designed this beautiful coaster highlighting how 2017 Canberra temperatures exceeded long-term averages - we’re giving them out to people tweeting re #ANUClimateUpdate18

[LEAN ACT @LEAN_ACT]

John Hewson points out that conservative politicians claim that taking action is ideological. Actually it’s hard headed business decisions! #ANUClimateUpdate18

[Ella Factor @ellabel]

Yes and definitely not! https://t.co/fbiQnVwjDw

[Ella Factor @ellabel]

Another trip to APH, another campaign. This time we are asking them to #saveARENA. Can you call your local MP?

[SmartEnergyCouncil @SmartEnergyCncl]

Ask your federal MP to #saveARENA - call them today! https://t.co/P6JzVOgp2J

Here's @GregHuntMP cutting the ribbon at an ARENA solar project. Now the Libs are cutting $1b from ARENA #saveARENA
