Rapid fossil fuel phase out and methane cuts could dramatically slow global warming with further action bringing temperatures back well below 1.5°C this century.

We've modelled the jobs that would be generated in Australia's power sector by a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, and find it would create twice as many jobs as the government's current policies.

Comment on two reports on overshoot and the cryosphere, published 2 November by the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative and UN Environment Programme

Rich fossil fuel-producing countries need to start reducing output now and end production within 20 years, as part of a just energy transition that will minimise climate overshoot and return global warming below 1.5°C by the end of the century

Governments' continuing inaction, particularly by fossil fuel producers, would guarantee an escalation in climate impacts and risks - yet as UNEP shows, the tools to prevent this are available

The approval of the massive Glencore and Yancoal's HVO coal mine continuation project in New South Wales greenlights the biggest coalmine ever approved in the state. Its lifetime emissions, including from combustion overseas, are projected to be nearly twice Australia’s current net emissions.
