Fracking the Kimberley: the Canning Basin development plans
We've calculated the climate implications of fracking the Canning basin, part of the remote and pristine Kimberley region in Western Australia. Four companies have their eyes on this region, home to the endangered bilby.

Setting 1.5°C compatible wind and solar targets
Based on global energy system modelling sense-checked against key national studies, this report presents new analysis on what a 1.5°C-aligned rollout of wind and solar could look like for key countries. It aims to inform target setting for 2030, 2035 and beyond in third generation NDCs.

Solar geoengineering: a note to inform discussions on physical climate impacts, risks and governance issues
With international efforts on climate action still not on track to limit warming to 1.5°C, technological fixes that aim to intentionally alter the Earth’s climate, such as solar geoengineering, might seem like appealing options for tackling global warming. But they come with questions in terms of feasibility, impacts and risks, governance and geopolitics, and who may or may not benefit.

Annual report 2023
In 2023 we worked hard to accelerate emissions reductions through new analysis on solutions and by helping vulnerable countries to finance and implement action.

How can event attribution science underpin financial decisions on Loss and Damage?
With climate extremes hitting nations across the globe, disproportionately burdening vulnerable developing countries, funding for loss and damage is an acute need. Attribution science can provide useful information for decision makers.

Australia's global fossil fuel carbon footprint
This report unpacks the global carbon footprint from Australia's exported fossil fuels, especially coal and gas; exports that are set to continue at the same level through to 2035, threatening the 1.5˚C warming limit.
Australia has a global carbon footprint that far exceeds its economic size and population - and is responsible for around 4.5% of global fossil carbon dioxide emissions, with 80% of those emissions coming from its fossil fuel exports.
The loss and damage fund must be accessible to those it was set up to serve – the most vulnerable to climate change
The board of the 'Fund for responding to Loss and Damage' has diverging views on accessibility. We look at lessons from similar funds and options currently on the table.
Why the Caribbean is bracing for what could be the worst hurricane season on record
Unprecedented sea surface temperatures in June have already fuelled a hurricane that has flattened communities in the Caribbean - the earliest of its kind. With forecasts warning of more to come, our experts get into the numbers of why this years' season could be the worst on record.
Dug up in Australia, burned around the world – exporting fossil fuels undermines climate targets
Our research found Australia’s coal and gas exports were responsible for 1.15 billion tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2023. An additional 46 million tonnes of CO₂ were emitted domestically in the process of extracting, processing and distributing those fossil fuels purely for export. That takes the total to 1.2 billion tonnes of CO₂ attributable to fossil fuel exports.
Delay tactics at IPCC-61 could put science inputs to the UNFCCC at risk
The latest Plenary of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just concluded in Sofia, Bulgaria. Despite days of deliberation, delegates were not able to agree on delivering the next round of reports in time for the second global stocktake, despite a request to do so from governments in the first global stocktake outcome agreed in Dubai last year.

Understanding the climate impacts associated with temporarily overshooting 1.5°C
This project is working to develop the science around what the climate impacts of temporarily overshooting 1.5°C would mean for our climate.
