Trump might have pulled the pin on US climate action but the world might move on without him.
O foco central das negociações da COP29 está em uma meta maior para o financiamento climático - o dinheiro que as nações ricas fornecem às nações pobres para ajudar na transição energética e na resistência climática.
The central focus of COP29 negotiations is on a bigger target for climate finance – the money rich nations provide poor nations to help with their energy transition and climate resilience.
Significant diplomatic and economic repercussions would result from Australia watering down our 2030 targets.
Yes, there was some progress at COP28. But the international community is not taking this enormous climate challenge as seriously as it should.
Negara-negara maju dan penghasil emisi besar sepakat mengompensasi negara-negara berkembang yang mengalami dampak terburuk perubahan iklim. Dana tersebut sudah beroperasi.
Through the Loss and Damage Fund, developed states and major emitters will compensate developing countries experiencing the most devastating effects of climate change. The fund is now operational.
Climate change is a real threat to national security. So why didn’t our armed forces review properly come to grips with this?
The best thing to do is to stop emitting carbon. However, preserving a safe climate will likely require us to go further.
The big news of COP27 was agreement to establish a fund for ‘loss and damage’. But many lamented the summit’s overall outcome, saying it falls short of a sufficient response to the climate crisis.
Apa itu COP? dan seberapa penting acara ini bagi kelangsungan bumi? Kami merangkum penjelasan istilah-istilah rumit yang kerap berseliweran di media kala hajatan tahunan ini berlangsung.

Remember hearing about COP26 in Glasgow last year? There’s a lot at stake in this year’s climate summit, so here’s your essential guide to prepare.
This election was a perfect storm for the Coalition, with fires, floods and international criticism dialing up the pressure for climate action. In the end, Australia made the decision for them.
Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time – so what have the Coalition and the Labor party actually promised? Five experts grade different aspects of their climate policies.
International cooperation is crucial if we are to have the best chance of limiting global warming. So who are the key players?
The National Party’s position on net-zero is wrong, for so many reasons. Not least, it’s a betrayal of rural Australia.
The world, accustomed to Australia’s shifty climate stance, is unlikely to fall for Morrison’s diversion tactics at Biden’s climate summit this week.
If Scott Morrison announces he’ll scrap the controversial Kyoto carryover credits tomorrow, our international counterparts will still regard Australia as a climate change laggard.
The Trump presidency has been a godsend for an Australian government apparently uninterested in significant climate action. But with Trump well behind in the polls, that’s set to change.
The summit was supposed to get global climate action back on track. But despite a few bright spots, the urgent action needed to avoid a climate catastrophe looks a long way off.
Yes, Australia’s greenhouse emissions are a small part of the global total. But we’re a rich, emissions-intensive country that could and should be setting a much better example to the world.
There have historically been few key points of difference on foreign policy during elections. Despite daunting challenges on the global stage, this year’s election campaign looks to be much the same.
The latest annual survey from the Lowy Institute shows that 59% of Australians support strong climate action, and 84% want the government to embrace renewable energy even if it’s more expensive.
