Great article from Adrian Blundell-Wignall on why Australia and Australians needs to work on reducing emissions from energy that is exported and burned overseas, not just that used at home.
Check out my remarkable partner @daniphilipson and @_anavelasco's new project. They are looking to bridge the gap between Spanish and English speakers and open up new multi-lingual discourses in gender and foreign policy! 💬
