The Great Ocean Rescue Tour

Otways Climate Emergency Action Network (OCEAN) < 1 mins read

The Otways Climate Emergency Action Network's (OCEAN’s) summer campaign to stop seismic blasting for oil and gas in the Otway Basin, off south west Victoria, kicks off this weekend.

We will be travelling the length of the Great Ocean Road visiting every town, starting at Ocean Grove on 6 January and finishing in Portland on the 27 January.

Various events will be held in each location, including film screenings, public rallies, street marches and paddle outs.

OCEAN’s objective is to alert visitors to the coast to the reality of seismic blasting and the devastating impact it is having on our marine life.

The first media event will be a massive street march in Ocean Grove and rally on the foreshore on Saturday 6 January.

Researchers call for rethink of global sustainable development agenda as 2030 deadline looms

As the world approaches the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with fewer than one in five targets on track, researchers warn that the next global framework risks repeating the same mistakes unless it is built on a clear and explicit theory of change. Published in Science, the study– A theory of change approach to enhance the post-2030 sustainable development agenda – argues that while the SDGs remain a landmark achievement in creating a shared global vision for sustainable development, they were underpinned by flawed assumptions about how goal‑setting would drive real‑world action.
