This brief, commissioned by the Wilderness Society, looks at BP's the new planned oil venture in the Great Australian Bight in the light of Australia's climate commitments under the new international climate agreement.

This study finds that the most appropriate carbon budget estimate for keeping warming to below 2°C is in the range of 590-1240 billion tons of carbon dioxide.

This paper synthesises what is known about the physical and biophysical impacts of climate change and their consequences for societies and development under different levels of global warming in Central Asia.

Unless ‘climate neutrality’ is strictly defined as ‘zero global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions’ in the Paris Agreement, which seems very unlikely at this stage of the negotiations, it is clear that it will lead to an undermining of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Climate Action Tracker’s analysis released during COP21 in Paris finds that if all coal plants in the pipeline were to be built, by 2030, emissions from coal power would be 400% higher than what is consistent with a 2°C pathway.
