New study suggesting that implementing climate policies effectively is the most important factor in the feasibility of limiting global warming to 1.5°C "needs to be interpreted very cautiously", Dr Carl-Friedrich Schleussner told Carbon Brief.

Sub-Saharan Africa has immense potential for renewable energy, including solar and wind, Bill Hare told Africa Rendez-vous. "However, the high cost of capital and lack of adequate infrastructure are holding back the development of these projects. We need to create public-private partnerships and further involve multilateral development banks to provide financing on preferential terms,” he said.

The report, Climate Change Impacts in Kenya: What Climate Change means for a country and its people, provides crucial and timely insights into Kenya’s climate crisis and offers recommendations on locally-led adaptation and resilience efforts.

Nepal's over-reliance on hydroelectricity at the cost of solar power is high-risk and high-cost. Manjeet Dhakal told the “We talk about how heavy rains will affect our hydropower plants, but we haven’t even begun to think about increasing temperature affecting water availability, making the case for energy diversification beyond hydropower that much stronger.”

“We are still looking at the numbers from last year, but I think it is happened. If we have peaked in emissions from fossil fuels, and I think we have, this is a historic moment,” Bill Hare told the Sydney Morning Herald. He said the turning point is significant because it demonstrates that a generation of difficult diplomacy and politics, of innovation and inventiveness, is starting to pay off in measurable change.

Climate Analytics Africa organised a series of strategic civil society dialogues to support the co-development of a long-term low-carbon and climate-resilient development vision for Togo.

The Wall Street Journal quotes from our G7 brief that none of the G7 members are on track to meet emissions reduction targets for 2030.

The Australian government’s Future Made in Australia plan aims to turn the country into a “renewable energy superpower” by investing in homegrown green industries. "There is a very deep contradiction at the heart of the two policies," Bill Hare told the BBC, "the Future Made in Australia [plan] is playing second fiddle to the government’s gas strategy.”

“What we’re seeing is the development of a massive surplus capacity of LNG, compared to what’s needed for keeping warming to 1.5 degrees,” Bill Hare told Grist.

Ramping up renewables won’t make a dent in emissions unless they displace fossil fuels in the system,” says our CEO Bill Hare on Azerbaijan pursing clean energy at home while expanding fossil gas production for export to Europe.
