With every degree of global warming, #women are the ones paying the biggest price. But together we can hold the drivers of climate change to account, and women-led climate action can help turn the tide.

Every climate action empowers women.

Every degree of global warming deepens gender inequality. Here’s what we can do about it. By 2090, 10% of all cases of intimate partner violence are expected to be caused by climate change. We need to talk about it.

On #InternationalWomensDay, ActionAid Australia's Michelle Higelin put a spotlight on the biggest threat to gender equality right now, and what action needs to happen to turn the tide.

We are devastated by the targeted attack on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach last night that killed 15 people and injured 40 people. We are deeply shaken, and we send our love to the families and communities of all of those who were killed and injured, and to everyone who has been impacted.

Australia projected to miss 2035 emissions reduction target ‘by a country mile’ unless it ramps up climate policies Climate change minister Chris Bowen acknowledges ‘additional work’ needed to meet 2035 goal

If Minister Bowen is serious about meeting our #climate targets, he needs to make sure his government stops approving new fossil fuel projects and makes a plan to phase out fossil fuels for good.

Anger, questions over Albanese’s call to concede COP to Turkey Premier Peter Malinauskas said it was up to the federal government to explain why it had changed its negotiating position to prioritise the Pacific over SA.

Although #COP31 will be held in Türkiye, Australia's role as president of the negotiations is a crucial one. This will be an vital opportunity for Australia to drive an ambitious climate agenda, and step up its own climate leadership.

‘No mother should have to choose between food and warmth’: Pregnant women and babies in Gaza face deadly winter without aid. As winter approaches, pregnant women and new mothers in Gaza are facing unbearable conditions. ActionAid warns that thousands of women are giving birth in tents without food, clean water, or medical c...

#Gaza “Pregnant women are giving birth and raising newborns in tents, without clean water, food, or warmth. No mother should have to choose between feeding herself or keeping her baby warm. The people of Gaza are trapped in a cycle of survival while winter is fast approaching."

Reaffirming UNRWA’s essential role for Palestinian well-being and rights Jamil Sawalmeh, Country Director of ActionAid Palestine, says: “The decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is welcomed as a confirmation of what we have been seeing firsthand and calling...

"ActionAid stands for #UNRWA institutions and efforts to be fully funded, reinstated and facilitated throughout the occupied Palestinian territory. Israel is legally obliged to ensure the survival and basic needs of Palestinians, not weaponise starvation against them."

We are in a pivotal moment for #Palestine. Join our webinar this Thursday with Jamil Sawalmeh from ActionAid Palestine, about the situation in Gaza and the West Bank, the challenges that lie ahead, and how we can take action in solidarity for Palestine.

Our colleagues in #Gaza highlight the reality on the ground: "There isn’t a single day when we feel secure or fed. Everyone eats very little, afraid food will run out. Nothing is safe. Delivering humanitarian aid often means risking our lives under bombardment."

Australia vows to cut emissions 62 to 70 per cent by 2035 Australia will vow to cut its emissions by 62 to 70 per cent by 2035, lifting its sights further as the world strives to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

Today's news is deeply disappointing. Government’s new emission reduction target of 62%-70% by 2035 falls well short of what’s needed to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis for communities across Australia and the women we work with around the world on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
