A year out from the postponed 26th UN conference, the UK held an online meeting to drum up goodwill for climate action.
Done right, offsetting projects can benefit local people and make a measurable difference to carbon emissions.
The Paris Agreement set countries on a path to limit global warming. Five years on, some progress has been made, but not enough. Decarbonizing the economy will take leadership and imagination.
Our new study shows that cutting emissions now will bring benefits sooner than expected.
Bold visions for slowing global warming have emerged from all over the world. What's not clear is how countries will meet them.
If Scott Morrison announces he'll scrap the controversial Kyoto carryover credits tomorrow, our international counterparts will still regard Australia as a climate change laggard.
New Zealand is one of few countries to enshrine a zero-carbon goal in law, but current climate policies don't keep up with that ambition.
It's high time the international shipping industry radically curbed its emissions. The industry must set a net-zero target and adopt a realistic plan to meet it.
A round-up of expert analysis from across the world on Biden's win.
Hamstrung by a Republican Senate, President-elect Biden will need to look abroad for collaborators on climate action.
Under a Biden administration, fireside chats in the White House will come with new expectations that Australia significantly increases its ambitions under the Paris agreement.
Modern agriculture releases lots of different greenhouse gas emissions, each with complex effects on the global climate.
The coronavirus pandemic caused the UN's annual climate conference to be postponed by a year, but it was also responsible for a drop in carbon emissions. Is it enough and will it last?
A ground-breaking court case in the Netherlands could influence the way Canadian courts rule on the government's actions on climate change.
The Paris climate change agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial temperatures — and the federal carbon pricing plan was meant to help Canada meet its commitments.
The report by the World Meteorological Organisation shows that with large and rapid emissions cuts, we can still avoid the most severe climate change. But worryingly, we also have time to make it far worse.
Three decades of growing scientific certainty about climate change have yielded little progress.
The Trump presidency has been a godsend for an Australian government apparently uninterested in significant climate action. But with Trump well behind in the polls, that's set to change.
How speculation came to be presented as scientific fact and inspired a decidedly non-glacial race to discover the future of Himalayan glaciers.
