Decarbonise electricity and reform land use to plunge emissions – world’s top experts.
The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect – when certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trap the sun’s heat and cause global warming.

In 2022, Australia is facing an election in which both major parties have little to offer on emissions reductions and moving away from fossil fuels.
While carbon dioxide removal from the air is not a replacement for emissions reductions, it can supplement these efforts. Experts are continually researching the best ways to do this.

Solar geoengineering could temporarily address the worst impacts of global warming.
A period of high fossil fuel prices has mixed implications.
Thick layers of snowy ice caused by unseasonal winter rains in Sweden block wild reindeers’ traditional grazing grounds and their access to food. Climate change is jeopardizing the migration and food-gathering routines of non-human species globally.

Humanity is off track to keeping global warming to 1.5°C. But if we pull out all stops, we’ve still got a chance.
Building solar panels over water sources is one way to both provide power and reduce evaporation in drought-troubled regions.
