Creating a mandatory human rights due diligence regime for Australian companies
"We analysed the human rights commitments of 25 of the top companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), including some of our largest banks and mining companies."
"We found Australian companies have a long way to go in “knowing and showing” a commitment to respect human rights, suggesting an urgent need for reform...It is clear from our research that many large Australian companies are not operating in line with international standards."
"One response could be for Australia to follow the European Union’s lead and create a mandatory human rights due diligence regime. Australian companies must take proactive steps to comply with international standards. Our findings suggest the government should enact a stronger and broader mandatory human rights due diligence law covering all human rights. "

Hi everyone! FINALLY, I’m happy to join Mastodon!
I’m a #Postdoc at the University of Helsinki, working on #UrbanPlanning, #Transportation, #HumanMobility, and #AI.
Excited to connect, explore your work, and share mine!
Let’s talk #Science, #BigData, #SmartCities, #Sustainability, and more.
Roll bars have been used in race cars since the 1950s saving 99% of the lives that would have otherwise been lost in accidents involving astronomical speeds and ferocity.
Why weren't they used in passenger vehicles, instead there are half belts, slow inflating bags, and gadgetry of relative inferiority?
Cost of mass-production?
Convenience?
Aesthetics?

In the middle of the sidewalk
🤦
How, exactly, does the #trafficEngineers' thought process work here? What kind of world would it be if #transportation infrastructure stopped cars *before* they got on the sidewalk? Are we more afraid about hurting drivers inside their armored and padded box than they are of killing someone with their car?
This is not a freeway. There should be no "clear zone". Any driver wrecking at freeway speeds here deserves to die in a fire.
And the average size of cars and trucks in the U.S. continues to grow. Some current models – like that of the Toyota Rav4 – are a third larger than they were only 15 years ago.
That’s led to a 77% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2010.

We Should Be Building Cities for People, Not Cars
The way we live is shaped by our infrastructure—the public spaces, building codes, and utilities that serve a city or region. It can act as the foundation for thriving communities, but it can also establish unhealthy patterns when designed poorly.devonzuegel.com
