Surpassing 1.5°C of warming can be undone at a later date – using tech, land and resources that don’t exist.
Academic rigour, journalistic flair

Climate change is not only taking a toll on the planet, but our mental health. One of the world’s most public-facing climate scientists tells us how she deals with its intimate knowledge.
A UN report proposes seven recommendations for addressing gaps in current AI governance. It’s a small step forward, but it needs refining.
Efforts to address climate change can learn a lot from the decades-long gender mainstreaming efforts.
The IPCC has set the agenda for global climate policy. No wonder countries are keen to influence its next round of reports.
Climate modelling wields huge influence on governments and investors’ decisions. Yet, researchers point out a lack of precision.
The phrase ‘net zero’ has a long history.
Will it make a difference when companies have to track and report emissions and environmental impact? Only if policies with teeth follow.
Current greenhouse gas inventories in Canada only consider “managed” lands. This must change before we can truly understand the scale of Canada’s carbon emissions.
Yes, there was some progress at COP28. But the international community is not taking this enormous climate challenge as seriously as it should.
Is reaching net zero emissions by 2050 enough to halt warming? One leading scientist says no.
Banning public funding for overseas fossil fuel projects will boost Australia’s climate leadership. But can it take the next step and do it domestically?
To avert climate breakdown, most of the world’s coal, oil and gas must stay underground.
For a two-in-three chance of staying within 1.5°C, the budget shrinks to one-and-a-half years.
Holding climate change to 1.5 might be possible – but in the best case, we’ll blow past the limit first and then backpedal.
Any smart climate strategy will need to simultaneously move away from fossil fuels and protect biodiversity, including through carbon sink preservation and a shift toward sustainable agriculture.
Our carbon budget is shrinking fast. We crunched the data to find pathways for G20 nations to act faster
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.
Marine life known as zooplankton might be the biggest problem with getting carbon cycling right in climate models. The potential variations in carbon uptake are greater than global transport emissions.
Our annual reports will update the world on the climate’s vital signs.
