A former UN adviser explains what happens at climate summits like COP26 and why people fear this one won’t meet its goals.
Halving Australia’s 2030 target would see Australia become a valued and relevant party to negotiations at Glasgow, rather than a resented freeloader. Here’s how we could get there.
Click through a timeline to make sense of Australia’s long, tumultuous years of shifting climate policies ahead of next month’s international climate summit in Glasgow.
Rich countries have promised to compensate poor ones for the impacts of climate change.
Countries are expected to commit to more ambitious targets for 2030, but how they will achieve them is still up for debate.
Listen to the trailer for The Anthill’s new podcast series on climate change ahead of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
Disclosure requirements work, forcing companies to own up to their customers and investors.
Our new study reveals how tight the world’s remaining carbon budget is.
Every five years nations must evaluate their progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement. But this “stocktake” lacks detail making it difficult to measure progress on climate action.
IPCC authors go beyond the headlines to explain how 1.5°C warming is measured – and why there’s still reason to hope, and act, if Earth exceeds that limit.
With higher warming levels, most of the spaces in which species can survive will be lost and the potential for restoration will become more limited.
Consider Ireland. Like New Zealand, it has high agricultural emissions and a poor climate track record so far, but it has adopted much stronger targets to cut emissions by 51% between 2018 and 2030.
The IPCC’s review process is among the most exhaustive for any scientific process. Each report generates thousands of comments from hundreds of reviewers across a range of scientific perspectives.
A new study shows how we can meet the goals of the Paris Agreement by changing the value of different greenhouse gases over time.
Conditional commitments are promises to raise emissions reduction efforts, depending on what others do. It could be a big incentive for Australia.
None of Australia’s highest-emitting energy firms are fully or even closely aligned with global climate goals. Just one goes even partway, and five appeared to be taking no action at all.
Vested interests have lobbied against climate policy worldwide, but that’s only one reason for the slow political response. While most people want climate action, they rank other issues as more urgent.
The Victorian Government recently released their Climate Change Strategy and committed to halving greenhouse emissions by 2030. Don’t applaud this just yet, there’s much more to do.
The new commitments of state governments go some way to filling the void left by the lack of a national climate policy. The states should, and can, coordinate their efforts. Here’s how.
