Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics is quoted again commenting on Australia's federal government climate action plan: they have set no policies that will reduce emissions in any sector and continue to support fossil fuel, recently approving four new coal mines“Instead, we see continued support for fossil fuels – it recently approved four new coal mines and is subsidising new gas developments.”

Kim Coetzee, climate policy analyst at CA comments on the G20 governments and their need to come to the table with more ambitious national emission reductions targets.

Claire Fyson, team leader for mitigation pathway analysis at CA explained how developed countries should rapidly step up their climate finance, as well as stating that current emissions-cutting pledges and net-zero commitments put the world on a trajectory to 2.4C of warming by the end of the century.

Claire Fyson comments how major emitters should strengthen their targets as soon as possible before the COP as well as setting up their climate finance budgets. She mentions how this is terrifying considering the impacts we have already experienced at 1.1C.

Marina Andrijevic, research analyst at CA is cited in this article which features a vast network of female activists who are fighting to protect natural resources in a bit to also protect their own rights. Marina discusses climate climate change has a direct impact on women, "not because there is something inherently more vulnerable about women, but because of entrenched social structures that put them at a disadvantage in the face of disasters”.

Matthew Gidden, team lead for mitigation pathways at CA comments on how coal-fired power plants need to be eliminated in two decades as they account for approximately 40 percent of the total electricity today.

The Climate Action Tracker is referenced in this article portraying how 131 countries re discussing, announcing or implementing net-zero targets. The report mentions that if targets are fully implemented, these would cut 72 percent of global emissions.

Bill Hare, CEO at Climate Analytics, comments on how emission pledges put a lot of pressure on the Morrison government which has not introduced policies to significantly reduce emissions from electricity, industry or transport.

Climate Analytics' briefing about coal phase out in Germany is referenced in the article published by Zeit. Close to the Bundestag elections, it discusses which party can make Germany's climate neutral.

CEO Bill Hare comments on how the Australian federal government could exceed climate targets by raising the volume of renewable energy entering the power sector.
