🎄Climate Action for Christmas 🎄 - go North-West Tasmania 👏 This week the Waratah Wynyard Council unanimously passed the motions to advocate to the Local Government Association Tasmania (LGAT) on the development of a position statement on oil and gas consistent with Paris Agreement and to ask both State and Federal governments to stop approving new proposals. How Awesome is that 🙌 🏆 Huge congratulations and big thanks to Hannah Sadler (North Tasmania Parents For Climate local group leader) for her tireless advocacy in this space. Hannah is showing us all what is possible through consistent, persistent advocacy at a local government level - her wins to date are super impressive! Hannah's also got one of the best smiles 😁 around, pictured bottom left hand corner with family, local Parents for Climate crew and few other friends to witness the vote at the meeting. "The best Christmas present", said Hannah. We couldn't agree more 🎁 These are the motions will be presented to all Tasmanian mayors and general managers early next year: 1. That LGAT establish a Position Statement on offshore oil and gas exploration and development in Tasmanian and Commonwealth waters off Tasmania consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement and latest and best available science. 2. That LGAT advocate to Tasmanian State and Federal Government to not approve any new offshore oil and gas exploration and development in Tasmanian and Commonwealth waters. 🌟 What a way to end the year of climate advocacy! 🎉

Consumer energy debt and power company profits are at both record highs. We're at Origin Energy's Sydney office today to demand they use their record profits to forgive those debts, pass on renewables savings to customers, and make it easier for those facing energy debt to find better deals. It's time to Stop The Bill Shock! Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/dKNBd-75

🌏 Join us Tonight - for a special World Children’s Day event! 🌏   ➡️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/gP8x8h_b ⬅️ 🧒 👨👨👧 Today, we reflect on the future our children will inherit—and the actions we can take to ensure it’s a safe, healthy, and thriving one. 📊 Shocking statistics from UNICEF’s 'The Climate-Changed Child' report remind us of what’s at stake:  🌡️ 1.9 billion children - almost every child on Earth - are exposed to at least one climate or environmental hazard, such as extreme heat or flooding.  💔 850 million children - face extremely high risks due to overlapping vulnerabilities, including droughts, air pollution, and water scarcity.  💨 1 billion children - are at very high risk from dangerously high air pollution levels, a reality set to worsen without urgent climate action. 💯 These numbers aren’t just stats—they’re a call to action. 📢 As parents, we have a unique role to play. We must amplify our voices and advocate for solutions that protect both our children and our planet. 💡 Join us at “Calling All Parents!” to hear inspiring discussions on how families can lead the charge for bold climate action. Together, let’s ensure our children’s futures are shaped by opportunity—not climate crises. 📅 When: 20 Nov - 8PM AEDT | 7:30PM ACDT | 7PM AEST | 5PM AWST 🎙️ Featuring: World renowned parenting expert Steve Biddulph and political expert Sophia Walter ➡️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/gP8x8h_b ⬅️ 📖 Source: UNICEF, The Climate-Changed Child report, 2023.

🔍 New Research Reveals Alarming Impacts of Rising Costs on Aussie Families 📈 Parents for Climate's latest report with the Climate Council, #UnderPressure, shows how oil and gas prices are not only adding to climate pollution but are also driving up household expenses for Australian families. From groceries and energy bills to insurance, new research reveals families are facing tough choices, with 53% cutting back on food and 66% struggling to heat or cool their homes. 🍎🏠 Nic Seton, CEO of Parents for Climate, says, “Our kids’ health and wellbeing are on the line as families face impossible trade-offs.” Yet there’s hope for change 🌱 . This report highlights that parents strongly support climate solutions, like solar, batteries, and efficient appliances, as affordable steps to cut costs and ease pressure. With government support, these solutions could help more families make the switch. 🌞💡 Read the report to see all the findings and recommendations for affordable climate solutions: https://lnkd.in/gsbWukVD #UnderPressure #NewResearch #CostOfLivingCrisis #ClimateAction #ParentsForClimate #AffordableEnergy #FutureGenerations
