Now that diplomatic relations are out of the deep freeze, business and cultural ties between China and Australia are set for a major rebound.
Green jobs go beyond solar panel installation and wind turbine maintenance. They’re found in fields from design to economics and in many types of management.
The promise of abundant, clean energy powered by nuclear fusion is one big step closer thanks to a new experiment. The results are a historic scientific milestone, but energy production remains a ways off.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
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
Start high, drop fast and avoid the free-riders: How to design subsidies that can boost clean energy in the US and elsewhere.
The current energy crisis is an opportunity to accelerate the transition towards clean energy – but some countries are better than others at pursuing major energy reform.
Saying that the climate problem is complex is false, and a distraction from what we know needs to be done.
Natural gas projects in Africa might help reduce supply shortages temporarily, but they could soon become stranded assets.
A managed fossil fuel phasing-out offers a chance for producers – including governments, corporations and unions – to negotiate the terms of a ‘just transition’ to renewable energy.
COP27 is Australia’s chance to join the global climate effort, but we’ll need to bring more to the table to be taken seriously.
The answer? By closing a highly polluting power station - and ramping up renewables.
By 2025, factories are on track to churn out enough silicon to produce the equivalent of all installed solar – every year.
If mining workplaces are anything to go by, the clean energy sector will have their work cut out for them to retain women in the workforce.
Coal plants are exiting the grid faster than expected. We’ll need to redouble efforts to add flexibility into our energy systems and build renewables and storage.
Jobs in the clean energy industry are expected to grow thanks to a historic federal investment in fighting climate change. Many of the jobs have low barriers to entry, an expert says.
To put the $370 billion in subsidies to work, the US needs to build new infrastructure and manage a lot of regulatory hurdles.
Almost 35 years after the US Senate was first warned about climate change, it has passed a bill. Here’s what it means for Australia.
For centuries, Pacific Islands have been raided by mining interests with little to show for it. Harnessing their enormous green mineral wealth must be done justly.
