As world leaders gather at COP29 to consider reducing emissions, the latest global carbon budget shows CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels are still going up, not down, despite some promising signs.
A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” promises to remove billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. But it’s crucial to be able to measure how much CO₂ is captured.
Many of Australia’s offshore oil and gas projects have finished. Wells need to be plugged; steel structures and pipelines removed. There’s A$60 billion worth of work to be done in coming decades.
It seems increasingly clear the Coalition’s nuclear policy would prolong Australia’s reliance on fossil fuels, at a time when the world is rapidly moving to far cleaner sources of power.

Shifting transport from air and road to sea and rail has untapped potential to slash emissions.
Brisbane is aiming to be the first Olympic Games host to make carbon savings greater than the emissions the event produces. That’s easier said than done, so what’s the plan to achieve this goal?
A new report reveals Australia’s fossil fuel exports threaten the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C
A new report from the Climate Council identifies ways to cut methane greenhouse emissions, almost two years after Australia signed a global pledge to reduce them.
