Climateworks Centre works within the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, and was co-founded in 2009 by the Myer Foundation and Monash University. It develops independent, evidence-based solutions to assist the transition to net zero emissions for Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
In Indonesia, building a climate-resilient future can’t rely on policy reform alone. Making more people care about climate change is arguably still the hardest change to make.

Pensiun dini PLTU dan investasi energi bersih jadi fokus pembiayaan pemerintah, tapi keadilan transisi harus diperhatikan agar tak rugikan masyarakat dan pekerja.
After a decade of climate wars, Australia is suddenly united – with state, territory and federal goverments aiming for net zero by 2050 for the first time
The first upgrade to minimum energy-efficiency standards in a decade will cut emissions and energy costs for the 5.5 million houses to be built by 2050. Retrofitting homes is an equally urgent task.
Labor’s climate and energy policies provide an important foundation for progress. But the crossbenchers, whether they hold the balance of power or not, will demand far more.
What should be done to enhance Indonesia’s emission trading scheme’s accountability? We list three points to consider to further enhance the scheme’s transparency.
Indonesia has embarked on its carbon-pricing journey. However, many elements regarding the scheme remain unknown. Here’s what we need to know before the pilot project commenced.
Developing a carbon market in the electricity sector should not just provide further permission to emit: it should actively assist the government to phase out coal and to fund low-carbon technology.
For over a decade, the inclusion of oceans in climate talks has been piecemeal and inconsistent. And yet, the ocean is critical to help balance the conditions we need to survive.

Rather than considering the job done, Tasmania should seize opportunities including renewable energy, net-zero industrial exports and forest preservation.
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.
History shows how the states and territories can step into a policy breach when the federal government fails. It’s time they band together on electric vehicles.
