Climate change is a real threat to people, planet and prosperity. Every strategy has a role to play in contributing to a net-zero future.
Decarbonise electricity and reform land use to plunge emissions – world’s top experts.
Emission of greenhouse gases is on the rise, an indication that the worst lies ahead.
It is unreasonable to expect people to cope with all disasters – but it is reasonable to expect people to manage a certain level of risk.
We have interviewed more than 80 young people since the start of the pandemic, in an effort to better understand the concerns of many disengaged, marginalised and disadvantaged young people.
With tourism operators desperate for the return of international visitors, the industry’s challenge now is to build a new, sustainable model.
In 2022, Australia is facing an election in which both major parties have little to offer on emissions reductions and moving away from fossil fuels.
While carbon dioxide removal from the air is not a replacement for emissions reductions, it can supplement these efforts. Experts are continually researching the best ways to do this.
China is committed to becoming carbon neutral before 2060 – and producing green hydrogen is key to the plan.
Controlled burns can benefit ecosystems and prevent wildfires burning out of control.
Solar geoengineering could temporarily address the worst impacts of global warming.
A period of high fossil fuel prices has mixed implications.
As climate change and other conflicts put humans and other species on the move — and sometimes in conflict — we need to rethink the way we approach conservation.
A new international report on climate change finds rapid changes could cut emissions from transportation by 80% to 90%. Three behavior change trends could bring big improvements.
Fixing the climate crisis can be a source of pleasure and not just pain.
The outlook for potential emissions reduction is far better than in earlier assessments, thanks to the plunging costs of clean energy technologies.
Humanity is off track to keeping global warming to 1.5°C. But if we pull out all stops, we’ve still got a chance.
From pulling carbon dioxide out of the air to turning water into fuel, innovators are developing new technologies and pairing existing ones to help slow global warming.
New research finds Japan has 14 times more solar and offshore wind energy potential than needed to supply all its current electricity demand. It doesn’t need Australia.
