If we’re serious about climate action, two things have to happen at once: stop approving new coal and gas, and build renewables faster than we are now. Instead, WA is the only state in the country without an emissions reduction target, and the North West Shelf has been approved to run until 2070. New research shows the targets are still reachable this century. What we’re missing is great leadership and the political will to get on and do it.

What we witnessed in Nepal was an apocalyptic event and a wake-up call about what happens to mountains in a warming world. But nothing is preordained when it comes to climate progress. Since 2015, the world has managed to shave more than one degree off the trajectory we were on. We need to double down on climate action.

What gives us hope in climate action? What are the biggest challenges we face right now? What would we like to see in the headlines five years from now? 👀 In our second episode of Climate Shorts, we put these questions to Kurt Vandenberghe, Director-General for Climate Action at the European Commission. Hear his take in this quick-fire interview. 🌍

🦖 Don’t Choose Extinction (2021) Organization: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Theme: Climate Action, Climate Change, Sustainability Campaign: DontChooseExtinction Voice: Jack Black 🇺🇸 Main Character: Frankie the Dino 🦖 Launch: October 2021 🧠 Rare Fact: Frankie the Dino is a computer-generated Utahraptor created specifically for the campaign. He dramatically enters the United Nations General Assembly Hall and addresses world leaders directly — making the film the first campaign film to use CGI to place a dinosaur inside the iconic UN General Assembly setting. The English version features Jack Black as Frankie’s voice, while different international versions feature actors from around the world. 📖 About the Campaign: “Don’t Choose Extinction” is a powerful climate-awareness campaign launched by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2021. Instead of presenting climate change through conventional statistics and scientific presentations, the campaign uses an unexpected messenger — a dinosaur that already knows what extinction feels like. Frankie walks into the UN General Assembly and essentially asks humanity: dinosaurs had an asteroid, but what excuse will humans have? The campaign particularly focuses on fossil-fuel subsidies and how public money supporting coal, oil and gas can undermine climate action. Its central argument is that humanity still has something the dinosaurs didn't have — a choice. We can change how we produce energy, reduce emissions, move toward cleaner alternatives and rethink how public resources are used. The campaign turns a complex global issue into a simple emotional message: extinction may have been unavoidable for the dinosaurs, but for humanity, the future is still in our hands. The campaign became a major global awareness effort, with its film voiced in 39 languages and translated into more than 60 languages. By 2023, UNDP reported that the campaign film had reached more than 2.2 billion people and received thousands of media mentions worldwide. #viralreels #dinosaur #environment #humanity #trendingreels

We are entering a new era of climate action, where the energy transition is essential not only for the climate but also for strengthening energy security in different parts of the world. Switching to renewable fuels play a vital part in enhancing supply security and societal resilience in one move. What we need now, is deployment at scale. To turn goals into real results, industry needs predictability in market demand to invest with confidence. Robust legislative frameworks – like mandates and incentives – are vital catalysts in strengthening market development. As world leaders meet for Climate Week NYC and look ahead to COP31, Neste is ready to team up with governments and businesses to turn climate plans into actions. 🤝 Watch the video from our CEO, Heikki Malinen 🎬 #NYClimateWeek #COP31 #EnergySecurity #RenewableFuels #DecadeOfDelivery

Reality check: climate change should be a priority for everyone.. individually, collectively, and especially for governments and public decision-makers. 🌍 But unfortunately, it still isn’t. Today, thousands took to the streets in Sweden to demand climate action. 🇸🇪✊ Whatever our differences, climate change is something that affects all of us and the generations coming after us. Maybe this is a protest we should be seeing everywhere. 🌎 Do you think climate change should be a top priority? 🌍 #Sweden #Stockholm #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ClimateProtest SwedenLife global warming Europe Sustainability ClimateCrisis klimatedemonstration

Telling individuals to eat less meat, drive less and adjust their thermostats can help—but framing climate change primarily as a personal lifestyle problem misses the enormous role of fossil-fuel producers and the systems that depend on them. The often-cited “100 companies = 71%” figure comes from a 2017 Carbon Majors analysis of fossil-fuel producers and their associated emissions since 1988. More recent Carbon Majors data similarly shows that a relatively small number of major fossil-fuel and cement producers account for a huge share of historical emissions. People can change their habits, but individuals didn’t build the fossil-fuel infrastructure, design energy systems, or decide what fuels power entire economies. Telling ordinary people to simply buy less while the biggest polluters keep expanding production turns a systemic crisis into a personal guilt trip. Climate action needs both individual responsibility and corporate and government accountability.

I can’t believe it. The City Rail Link is real. From today, people can build their lives around a train, whether it’s families living centrally or workers from afar. Just imagine if we can bring better trains to more places: in Wellington we could fix up the rails and have trains every six minutes! That changes the game, and means it’s better to leave the petrol car at home. This is what climate action looks like, and it’s beautiful.

Climate action is cost of living action. The reason this government will do neither is because it threatens the vested corporate interests who they serve.
