Ultra long-haul flights make it possible to go Sydney to London non-stop. But does the world need them, given they are more polluting and less efficient?
War, famine and an energy crunch are affecting the world’s response to climate change, but there are reasons for optimism.
Scientists have been working on a solution for decades.
A new study adds up the potential legal and financial risk countries could face from hundreds of agreements, like those under the Energy Charter Treaty.
Research shows large-scale reliance on carbon capture risks postponing climate action too far into the future.

A new book lays out the connections between industries and politicians that are both stalling action on climate change and diminishing democracy.
Extracting and storing human body heat we generate could improve building sustainability while cutting bills.
For the NHS to achieve net zero, it needs to sort out its supply chains and prioritise community health.
Coal producers in Australia have seen a sudden upswing in prices and demand amid an energy crisis. It can’t continue, as China moves to shore up energy independence and cut emissions.
Until now, export credit agencies - publicly-owned banks - have gone under the radar on fossil fuel financing. That’s about to change.

China is committed to becoming carbon neutral before 2060 – and producing green hydrogen is key to the plan.
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.
Planting trees and preventing deforestation can store carbon in nature, but the effect may only be temporary. If we also eliminate emissions from fossil fuels, even this temporary effect is important.
