This work appears in an official document of the United Nations published in the United States prior to 17 September 1987
“The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter,” The United Nations says on their website. They also have a popular Instagram page; in this post we will respond to posts on their climate change account, as this is a climate blog.

“(Sydney, Australia is) 100% powered by renewable energy.”
Sydney has led the world and will set an example of what a clean city looks like. Running on clean energy will help prevent climate catastrophes as Australia faces natural disasters such as wildfires. Hopefully, other cities, and even countries, will follow Sydney’s example.
