China is powering ahead with EV production, but Chinese EVs might not be ready to face the global market.
Such tension has played out over many decades between agricultural communities and coal companies. We can avoid history repeating itself if we urgently set the right policies and laws in place.
As the UK warms, the government needs to pay more attention to sustainably and efficiently cooling buildings.
A new report predicts an incredibly rapid closure of coal-fired power stations. Continuing to deny this is simply not in the interest of coal workers and their communities.
If the UK is to achieve net zero by 2050, it needs to get moving on making a successful green transition across fuel, transport and housing.
If we want to limit global warming to below 2°C, most of our untapped fossil fuel reserves need to be kept in the ground.
China has a tendency to underpromise so it can overdeliver.
Labor has released their much anticipated “Powering Australia” climate policy, committing to reduce emissions by 43%.
The US has required motor fuels to contain 10% biofuels since 2005. As this program nears a key milestone in 2022, farm advocates want to expand it while critics want to pare it back or repeal it.
Morocco treats wind and solar farms in Western Sahara as if they were in Morocco.
Grattan Institute analysis shows it’s possible to achieve a vastly lower-emissions electricity system in less than two decades – if governments can muster the courage.
How and where people spend their money and use energy can influence corporate behavior.
A set of studies found people prefer incentives to disincentives, especially for individuals but also for businesses. They have views on clean energy and efficiency, too.
Humanity’s biggest challenges are not technical, but social, economic, political and behavioural. Effective actions are still possible to stabilise the climate and the planet, but must be taken now.
Canada must move away from using fossil fuels, but a transition that comes too fast could harm the economy. Policy-makers must strike a balance between energy security and economic growth.
Research suggests that corporate leaders can be encouraged to lobby for climate action by personally experiencing the effects of climate change.
Politics with Michelle Grattan: Chris Bowen says Labor’s climate policy will be ‘realistic and ambitious’
Michelle Grattan speaks with shadow minister Chris Bowen on Labor's "realistic and ambitious" climate policy and Australia's yet to be released renewable future
Heading into the final days of the Glasgow summit, the goal of limiting heating below 2°C looks attainable, and 1.5°C is still within reach. There is still room for hope.
South Africa’s renewable energy procurement programme has the potential to restore energy security and eventually reduce power prices.
