Australia has officially meeting its 70 percent double vaccination target

More than 33 million jabs have been administered in Australia since the rollout began at the beginning of the year.

Health Minister Greg Hunt says “this is a testament to Australians health professionals and everyone that has been involved in the vaccination program”.

This is the country’s first major vaccine milestone and also comes as Australia prepares to open back up with the world.

Chief Medical Officer Craig Kelly says the milestone means Australia will now move into “phase b” of the national reopening plan.

Residents in Melbourne are preparing for their very own freedom day, with harsh lockdown restrictions being eased from Friday as the state of Victoria also meets its 70% double dose target.

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
