What are Australia's sentiments towards the energy transition at a practical level? Tune into the latest Ashurst Nearing Net Zero video in which Dan Brown and Elena Lambros unpack the recent survey results of the CSIRO and consider the opportunities and challenges.

We are delighted to announce that the FoodCloud Growers’ Project has received €165,000 from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine under the Rural Innovation and Development Fund. This funding will help us expand our efforts to reduce food waste and support communities across Ireland. The project will redistribute over 150 tonnes of surplus produce from growers to more than 180 community and volunteer organisations via our hubs in Dublin, Galway, and Cork. This initiative addresses farm-level food waste and provides support. Minister Charlie McConalogue highlighted Ireland's commitment to tackling food waste through national policies and strategies like Food Vision 2030 and the Food Waste Prevention Road Map. He stated, “Food waste reduction initiatives will further enhance the work previously funded to identify, target and address what is a rapidly growing issue not just here in Ireland but globally.” #FoodWasteReduction #Sustainability #CommunitySupport #FoodCloud #AgriFoodSector #RuralInnovation #Ireland

Behavioral Science is a powerful tool that can catalyze climate action. Cutting meat consumption is an essential step towards achieving net-zero emissions. I am excited about the upcoming World Resources Institute report and proud that Rare is increasing our effort in this space. Check out this Bloomberg article on how companies and schools are using nudge theory to cut meat consumption. #BehavioralScience #ClimateAction #NetZero
