Here, we illustrate the way that Pacific Island States are innovating the way international climate law is developed and interpreted through 3 case studies spanning climate finance, the ITLOS and ICJ Advisory Opinions, and Ecocide at the ICC

The United States maintains its prestigious position of the largest threat to global peace.

With some of the weak responses coming out it’s looking like the prohibition on the use of force is fading into history.

It’s a failure of Australian politics that Zohran Mamdani has a cursory knowledge of Drew Pavlou’s existence

Recently had the joy of presenting some of my PhD work at a workshop. During discussion, I got some constructive feedback that I initially disagreed with, only to sit with it and realise they were right.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS ARTICLE IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW

Well, that COP was pointless. Can’t wait for the next one, which will undoubted be the most pointless one yet

Not the Group of Eight leading Australian uni’s signing a letter of support in favour of the proposed amendments to the EPBC Act, when all of their respective law schools are writing submissions pointing out how many flaws the amendments have

Uni admins remain deeply out of touch from their staff

The show-and-dance around #COP31 is, quite frankly, embarrassing.

The COPs are supposed to be about collaboration, working together to figure out how we limit global warming to 1.5Β°.

If we can’t agree on a venue, how the hell are we going to agree on a pathway to 1.5Β°

Last night, I had the pleasure of participating in the @lsca.bsky.social Global Day of Action, presenting some of the Australian Team’s preliminary findings regarding the work Australian Law firms do that exacerbates climate change.

Report anticipated in early 2026 🌳🫑

Who on Bluesky is at #COP30 and giving on the ground updates?

Last year my Twitter was full of round-the-clock scholarly discourse on the NCQG at #COP29. Now? Silence

It’s such a loss to scholarship that Elon destroyed Twitter this badly

An β€œaspirational” policy, disconnected from the ground-level experiences of CSOs. While a key policy for government, β€œshared responsibility” is poorly understood by those on the ground, and reform is needed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of those tasked with disaster response

New pub alert 🚨
#DisasterRecovery #climatechange

β€œShared responsibility” is a loaded phrase for Community Sector Organisations who often fill the space where government fails after disasters.

In this article we interview representatives from CSOs and find that β€œshared responsibility” is a 1/3

The first question to every politician tomorrow must be:
β€œNow that the UN says Israel is committing genocide, what actions will your government take to fulfil its obligations to prevent genocide?”

I never considered that, when writing an assignment requiring students to use the Australian Consumer Law, that I would need to look at the Australian Consumer Law to mark it 😭

Wigney J: β€œThe only avenue to those at risk of climate harm is public advocacy and protest…”

In all seriousness, the Pabai Pabai decision is devastating, and highlights how unseriously Australia continues to take climate change
