The prospect of attempting to engineer the world’s climate has become a lot more real since the Paris Agreement.
Green détente options could help South Korea ease the diplomatic tensions in the region.
Without limiting global warming Europe is likely to see more severe heatwaves, less frequent extreme cold and more intense rain events.
The price of renewable energy will fall significantly relative to new-build coal in coming decades, making an all-renewable electricity system more desirable, both economically and environmentally.
It’s still possible to hit the more ambitious of the two Paris global warming goals, according to a new estimate of the global carbon budget. But it sure won’t be easy, and we need to start now.
To deliver climate justice we must focus on vulnerable people not countries.
It’s a good thing that cities aspire to lead the way in acting on climate change in the absence of stronger national action. But a closer look reveals the limitations of current city-based efforts.
Tonight on the ABC’s Catalyst, scientist Tim Flannery asks if seaweed can save the world. It’s a bold claim for algae, but seaweed could play a key role in keeping climate change in check.
Climate change will have a big impact on the global economy, for better or worse. We explore four issues that bring climate and trade negotiations head to head.
A new report from the Climate Council details the climate policy ambitions of Australian cities and local governments, and launches a new project to link their efforts together.
A new analysis by ClimateWorks Australia says that the electricity sector needs to do far more to cut its carbon emissions than will be delivered by current policies.
Amid fears for the world’s coral reefs, the UN World Heritage Committee has issued its most wide-ranging statement so far on protecting heritage sites from climate. But the problem doesn’t end there.
New Zealand is a trailblazer for emissions trading, which could help drive a low-emission transformation, both domestically and overseas, in a post-Paris world.
Set aside the politics. If by some miracle we turned off carbon emissions immediately, how would the climate respond?
An expert report shows that the G20 countries are using their energy more efficiently. But there is still a long way to go.
International problems and local policies are integrally interwoven, whether the nationalists in Washington like it or not.
Action on climate change is now increasingly in China’s hands, and the decisions the country’s leaders make in the next decade will have a profound global impact.
Without the private sector cutting carbon emissions – rather than just lobbying the government for action on climate – the world will never reach the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement.
Scientists typically stay out of public policy debates, but an academic makes the case that they need to push back against politicians who distort research.
