TOGETHER, WE CAN CREATE A CLEANER, GREENER FUTURE

Rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity. Our
climate is in crisis and destructive industries continue to threaten our
forests, oceans and air. But together we can overcome these challenges.

PLASTIC FREE FUTURE


A traditional dance is performed at the arrival of the Rainbow Warrior in
Funafuti, the second stop of the Pacific Ship Tour. Traditional paopao (canoes)
escorted the arriving ship to shore, where those aboard were welcomed by the
community of Tuvalu, civil society groups, and addressed by Representatives from
the Government of Tuvalu including the Hon. Prime Minister Kausea Natano and the
Hon. Minister for Finance and Climate Change Seve Paeniu. Tuvalu is one of the
most climate-vulnerable nations in the world. With much of the country sitting
at less than three metres in elevation, sea level rise and storm surges are not
only leading to tidal inundation, food insecurity and cultural loss, but present
an immediate threat to Tuvalu’s future. During the visit, Greenpeace campaigners
will meet with community and government leaders to listen and engage in
‘talanoa’ or discussion, and to learn how best to support Pacific climate
demands. Greenpeace experts will continue gathering testimonies of climate harm
to present to the world’s highest court as part of the historic, Pacific-led
campaign for an advisory opinion at the International Court of Justice. ©

THE TRUTH ABOUT AUSTRALIA'S GAS "SHORTAGE": WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

September 13, 2024

Australia's alleged "gas shortage" is largely a myth perpetuated by the gas
industry. The country produces more than enough gas for domestic needs, but most
is exported. New gas projects like Woodside's Burrup Hub are primarily for
export, not domestic use. Gas usage in Australia's energy mix is actually
declining, with only 4% of east coast production needed for electricity by 2030.
The environmental cost of gas extraction is higher than reported, with methane
leaks and underreported emissions. Claims about keeping "lights on in Tokyo" are
misleading, as Japan sells more Australian gas than it uses. The article argues
that there's no justification for new gas drilling, given existing reserves and
the urgent need to transition to clean energy.
