Australia’s defence minister is pushing for greater access to America’s missile technology in what will be a key test of the two nations’ alliance

It comes as leaders from both the US and Australia prepare to meet in Washington next week for wide-ranging discussions.

The Defence Minister says the two countries need to “pool their know-how and resources” in the quest to develop new long-range weapons and offensive cyber tools.

It follows Australia pushing America in recent times to deliver on the promise to integrate its allies into the National Technology and Industrial Base.

The NITB was expanded to include both Britain and Australia in 20-17, but has so far failed to provide a “defence free-trade area”.

Australia’s defence minister is confident that the high-level talks next week with the Biden administration in Washington will see the nations’ alliance “level-up”.

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.
