Gregory Andrews, a former high-level Australian diplomat was taken to hospital two weeks after embarking on a hunger strike outside the Australian parliament.

In his petition to the Australian Prime Minister, Andrews calls on the government to stop subsidising fossil fuels, commit to an urgent phase-out of coal and gas exports, end native forest logging, update environment protection laws and release key details of Australia's Climate Risk Assessment.

Former ambassador Gregory Andrews goes on climate action hunger strike in front of parliament

Many thousands of Australians share my concerns about climate collapse but the government is, at best, treating climate change as a future emergency. This is why I’ve made the resolute decision to undertake a #ClimateHungerStrike. I will abstain from consuming anything except water

Meanwhile, here in my hometown of Canberra, Gregory Andrews an Adjunct Associate Professor with the University of Canberra’s Institute for Applied Ecology, is beginning a hunger strike.

Why?

The world is on the brink of climate collapse. Billions of people will die from heat stroke, starvation and fossil-fuelled disasters in our lifetimes if we don’t take real and fast action. But Australia is still digging up coal and chopping down forests. I want my children to have the same future and opportunities as the decision-makers in Parliament House today. That’s why I’m on a #ClimateHungerStrike until Prime Minister Anthony Albanese commits to real action. Join me in calling for a safe future.

Gregory Andrews

Gregory is petitioning the government to meet the following demands:

  • Stop subsidising fossil fuels and redirect these resources to climate action and adaptation,
  • Commit to an urgent phase out of Australia’s massive coal and gas exports,
  • End native forests logging,
  • Update Australia’s key environment protection law, the EPBC Act, to includes climate impacts, and
  • Immediately release key details of the Climate Risk Assessment which outlines the national security risks we face.

    • He intends to continue this hunger strike “until the Government takes the action that Australians and all of humanity deserve”.

    You can sign the petition yourself. It only takes 20 seconds.
