The Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, Minister for the Environment and Water The Hon Lauren Moss MLA, Northern Territory Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Security The Federal and Northern Territory Labor Governments are investing in two projects to give First Nations communities access to clean, reliable water. Most Australians would be shocked to learn that tens of thousands of First Nations people in remote communities still don't have access to healthy drinking water. It harms people economically, because towns and families can't get ahead if they can't rely on the basics of life, and culturally it causes harm for people to see their river and waterways run dry.

MANILA, Philippines — During a meeting with the United Kingdom's King Charles III, a Filipino climate activist told the king about the Oriental Mindoro oil spill, according to the Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (Yacap) on Friday. The climate activist, Mitzi Jonelle Tan, is Yacap's spokesperson. 'There's an oil spill in the Philippines right now and we need help. It's not getting any question or accountability, and really, majority of the world need climate finance and climate reparations, especially [those] battling the impacts of colonialism, making us more vulnerable to the climate crisis,' she told King Charles III.

Dry lightning can still be disastrous even when conditions aren't so dry, a study has found. These cloud-to-ground strikes during little to no rainfall were previously thought to pose wildfire danger only if occurring with less than 2.5 mm of rain in a day (about 0.10 inches). A Washington State University -led study of lightning-ignited wildfires in the U.S. West found the strikes caused wildfires despite up to 7.7 mm (about 0.3 inches) of precipitation. While still a low amount of rain, the more accurate estimation could help responders more effectively detect fires because it alerts them to stay vigilant for "holdovers," which can smolder for many days before exploding into full-blown wildfires.
