The report to be released on Thursday says an increase in global temperatures of 3-4°C would cost Australia $135 billion to $423 billion.
The 142 fossil fuel producers collectively exceeded the limits on coal, gas and oil production required to achieve the Paris Agreement goals by between 63% and 70%.
More than a century of research shows that burning fossil fuels warms the climate – that’s exactly why granting new North Sea oil and gas licenses is a bad idea.
Over the past three years, Earth’s climate system has accumulated an average of 11 Hiroshima bombs’ worth of excess energy per second. And it’s showing in the current surge in ocean temperature.
Temperature rise of more than 1°C pushes us towards irreversible climate tipping points, yet Earth is 1.2°C warmer than in pre-industrial times.
Study suggests that current national climate commitments could be enough to stabilise global warming within the century. But mitigation action needs to be turbocharged.
A free trade agreement between Australia and the United Kingdom has begun – and it failed to put climate change at the forefront.
When Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, the news overshadowed reporting of a critical review of climate tipping points, published in Science. Did you miss it?
Governments are more than regulators — they are also major greenhouse gas emitters.
Making the green energy transition a success requires governments to pay attention to environmental factors and socioeconomic imperatives.
Fear and Wonder is a new climate podcast, brought to you by The Conversation, and sponsored by the Climate Council.
As the world waits with bated breath for the release of the latest UN climate report, let’s take a fresh look at the IPCC. What can we expect from the Synthesis Report on Monday evening?
The UK is focusing on carbon capture and storage technologies but the future is uncertain.
Has climate action bogged down? Hardly. Nations are redoubling their efforts in visible and less visible ways.
There have been 27 UN COP meetings. Despite these negotiations, the planet is on target to exceed emission thresholds for global warming. Given these failures, why continue with this process?
Stopping the expansion of offshore oil and gas extraction is a critical but often overlooked step towards achieving global climate targets and protecting our oceans and planet.
The historic agreement on a loss and damage fund was overshadowed by lack of progress on phasing out fossil fuels.
Tracking CO2 emissions with satellites can help to support emission reduction efforts under the Paris Agreement.
Cities, which account for 70% of emissions globally, should be at the frontline of tackling some of the most severe effects of climate change.
