The New Zealand government has set the goal of net zero by 2050 but to get there, New Zealanders will need to let go of our big cars and embrace smaller options.
It wouldn’t be a modern Australian election campaign without the words “carbon tax” being thrown around.So lets clear a few things up.
University of Canberra Professional Fellow Michelle Grattan and University of Canberra Associate Professor Caroline Fisher discuss the week in politics
“The world has moved past Matt Canavan,” David Littleproud declared on Wednesday, tossing his colleague and former resources minister firmly under the bus as the “climate wars” exploded within the Coalition
Behind the government’s net zero bluster there has been little progress in decarbonising the UK.
Plan to cut emissions quickly, use offsets sparingly and set broader goals for improving society.
Soaking up and storing CO₂ is not just a question of technology.
Labor has released their much anticipated “Powering Australia” climate policy, committing to reduce emissions by 43%.
Australians are ready to embrace electric vehicles - but an emissions ceiling would speed up the transition dramatically.
Workers, not objects, make up most of the capital at risk from climate change.
Strengthen commitments to reduce emissions by 2030, redouble efforts to raise climate finance and junk fossil fuel subsidies.
New Zealand’s international pledges, domestic laws and carbon budgets run on different timelines. They could be better aligned to make sure everyone understands how Aotearoa plans to cut emissions.
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.

Targets for reductions in methane and other greenhouse gases should be guided by science, and set in line with the Paris deal.
Electric vehicle sales are booming and coal power is dwindling, but structural obstacles to net zero remain.
When Prime Minister Scott Morrison returns from the Glasgow climate summit, he must start a proper national conversation on net-zero.
