Recent research from the Australia National University’s claims that the rate of growth of renewable energy supply sources in the power sector will lead to Australia meeting its Paris Agreement targets by 2024, five years early. Our fact check reveals that this claim does not stack up.

Germany’s coal commission proposal, announced today in Berlin, that Germany should continue to burn coal for electricity until 2038, is incompatible with Paris Agreement goals.

The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) estimate of the total warming of the aggregate effect of Paris Agreement commitments and of real-world policy shows little change. If all governments achieved their Paris Agreement commitments the world will likely warm 3.0°C—twice the 1.5°C limit they agreed in Paris.

A new Climate Analytics report shows for the first time that Germany will need to rapidly exit coal from electricity generation by 2030, as part of the global coal exit by 2050 the IPCC shows is needed to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5°C limit, and this will also bring massive health benefits.

8 October 2018 Incheon, Republic of Korea -- The IPCC’s report released today shows the impacts of even 1.5˚C of warming are far greater than previously thought, but also that it’s definitely still feasible to hold warming to that level, according to scientific research organisation Climate Analytics.

Climate action in the Pacific is getting a boost with an injection of funding from the New Zealand government for a new Pacific Climate Change Centre in Apia, Samoa, in collaboration with the Government of Japan.
