‼️ The Australian government led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has just extended the operations of BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA)'s Saraji coal mine by 30 years. 🏭 This will emit another 120 million tonnes of climate pollution -- solidifying Australia’s position as a major fossil fuel polluter, even as it co-leads the #COP31 climate summit. “Earlier this year, I stood at the foot of the Saraji mine and listened to the plight of First Nations custodians whose lands, streams and cultural heritage were plundered to make way for BMA’s coal expansion. These coal mines wreak havoc on people and the planet, both at the point of extraction in Australia, and at the point of climate impact in the Pacific. Our frustration at this extension is as much for our Aboriginal and First Nations brothers and sisters, as it is for our own people." - Jacynta Fa'amau, 350.org Pacific Here's our full statement: https://lnkd.in/g4b3g6C2

"Nothing is left," her aunt said. "Everything is destroyed." Youth climate activist Dikshya Subedi has spent years explaining flood risk maps to government officials and pushing the phrase "climate crisis" into policy rooms. Then on August 26, 2026, the crisis arrived at her own family's doorstep when a glacier sheared off high in the mountains, sending a flash flood down the Bhote Koshi River at speeds of nearly 200 km/h and burying her husband's home village of Devighat, Nepal in minutes. In her own words: "This flood taught me what the facts actually cost." This is what happens institutions couldn't move fast enough - and why the work of building early-warning systems, locally-led adaptation, and real (not promised) climate finance cannot wait for the next summit.

🛑 There is no version of 'limiting overshoot' that doesn't start with ending new coal, oil and gas expansion today. 🌡️ Today, the UN released a sobering new report saying that world temperatures will exceed 1.5C. But this doesn't mean that all is lost. We can still bring temperatures back down if countries act with urgency now. "We absolutely have to claw back every fraction of a degree possible...Just because overshoot is deemed inevitable, that doesn't mean we stop fighting to limit it to as short an overshoot as possible. Every day above 1.5C is another coastline swallowed, another plantation flooded, another coral reef lost," said 350.org's Fenton Lutunatabua in this report by The Independent. https://lnkd.in/gA4a79vx

The horrific disaster in Nepal made it clear: climate heating is destabilising glaciers in the Himalaya. “This is the reality: those who have contributed the least are paying the highest price, especially with their lives,” 350.org's Savio Carvalho tells The Independent. What's worse, existing international funds meant to help countries like Nepal cope with disasters remain inadequate and hard to access, often taking months or years to arrive, and sometimes coming as loans that leave poorer countries deeper in debt rather than grants. 350.org is calling on world leaders to act -- including by making sure that polluters help pay for the response. https://lnkd.in/gUPnATsf

🏔️ Nepal contributes less than 0.1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. But it is among the most climate-vulnerable nations on earth, where warming doesn’t arrive gradually but as a wall of water and mud tearing through a valley in minutes. Youth activist Dikshya Subedi writes for Al Jazeera Media Network on how seven years of climate advocacy did not prepare her for the horror and despair she saw when a glacial flood swept away her husband's village. Nepal urgently needs early warning systems, climate-resilient infrastructure, locally led adaptation and disaster preparedness. But it cannot do it alone:   "Wealthy nations, which are the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases and thus most responsible for the present climate crisis, should not limit their response to repatriating their dead citizens from my country and issuing symbolic gestures of support. They must now ensure that we have the finance we need to recover and rebuild from this loss, as well as withstand what is to come." https://lnkd.in/gNN_4uTz

3 days ago was the half-year mark of the devastating US-Israeli war in Iran. It's been 6 months since the #StraitofHormuz closed that sent oil and gas prices shooting through the roof. It's been 182 days of the us living in the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). So, how does one war impact the whole world? The answer is #fossilflation: the high living cost we are all paying, for our dependence on fossil fuels.

Keeping global warming below 1.5°C is not an "abstract target“ — it is literally about the survival of Pacific Island communities,” says Vakamino Vulaca of 350.org Pacific Climate Warriors. Ahead of next week's Pacific Islands Forum, youth are actively pushing their leaders: a transition away from fossil fuels must be at the heart of the #COP31 agenda. https://lnkd.in/gPpjWrbT
