As the UK warms, the government needs to pay more attention to sustainably and efficiently cooling buildings.
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.
Soaking up and storing CO₂ is not just a question of technology.
The goal of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, or GFANZ, is to bring together the financial sector to accelerate the transition to a net-zero economy. Here’s why it might actually work.
It’s hypocritical for retailers to make carbon pledges with one hand and continue pushing consumerism with the other.
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.
We need to rapidly reduce global emissions before 2030. Developing hydrogen for low-emissions road transport won’t happen fast enough.
We can evaluate the plan’s sincerity through a lens of good practice policy making. So how does the government’s net-zero plan rate?
We must take significant and rapid action now, to ensure cities play their part in limiting dangerous global warming and withstand the climate challenges ahead.
One-tenth of global emissions result from the production and supply of building materials – and the construction process itself.

Yes, trees and soils can absorb and store carbon, but the carbon doesn’t stay stored forever. That’s one of the problems with how net-zero plans for the climate are being designed.
The pledge to end deforestation holds great potential, but Canada has some work ahead if it is to make meaningful progress on the new goal and stop ongoing forest and carbon loss.
Targets for reductions in methane and other greenhouse gases should be guided by science, and set in line with the Paris deal.
This Australian climate policy gives cause for hope, but will it really lead to a well-adapted Australia?
Electric vehicle sales are booming and coal power is dwindling, but structural obstacles to net zero remain.
Reach net zero requires policies spanning energy, industry, transport, agriculture, land use, even trade. Climate change is a whole-of-government issue. It’s every minister’s problem.
Labor is not due to announce its full climate plan until after international climate talks in Glasgow.
Electric boilers can be a green heating alternative, an expert says.
