New report has proposed a range of 1.5°C-aligned targets for Western Australia, which remains the only Australian state yet to set its own emissions reduction targets on the path to net zero by 2050.

"The 2022 floods highlighted Pakistan's vulnerability to climate change. Three years later, monsoon floods are still claiming shocking human losses," says Fahad Saeed

The study highlights that a prolonged heat wave in Pakistan and neighbouring countries caused “the atmosphere to draw in more moisture and amplify rainfall when the monsoon system arrived,” Fahad Saeed told Mongabay.

In April, research by Climate Analytics warned that major economies are overstating how much carbon their forests can absorb in a climate accounting fudge that could allow them to use even more fossil fuels.

Jordan Dunbar chats to Tina Steggy, climate envoy for the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Dr. Rosanne Martyr, senior scientist on coastal vulnerability and adaptation, Climate Analytics.

Bill Hare said the court had reinforced the legal weight behind existing agreements. “States have a responsibility to regulate private activity within their jurisdictions and they have a responsibility to all other states for the consequences of actions taken,” he said. “This together means that countries have an obligation to limit, reduce and ultimately eliminate fossil fuel production.”

Bill Hare told The Guardian “Any investment in new fossil fuels now is a fool’s gamble, while joining the race to renewables can only bring benefits – not just jobs and cheaper energy at stable prices, but energy independence and access where it’s needed most".

Migration visas for Tuvalu citizens at risk of sea level rise "are the repercussion of our failure to meet the Paris Agreement's targets," Dr Rosanne Martyr told the BBC.

Analysis by Climate Analytics projects that heatwave days will double or triple in Berlin, Paris, Madrid and other cities by the end of the century without drastic cuts of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Bill Hare told Anadolu that Germany has failed to move quickly enough, jeopardising its ability to meet the EU’s 2030 climate and energy framework.
