Every year, air pollution kills 2,600 Australians. Australia’s new climate policy regime must account for this and other harms climate change wreaks on society.

Force oil and gas companies to dispose of a tonne of CO₂ for every one they emit.
More than 400 proposed fossil fuel extraction projects threaten to blow the world’s 1.5°C target.
Newspapers were writing about climate change more than a century ago. Here’s why it’s taken so long to start tackling it.
One estimate suggests at least a sixth of all emissions cuts expected from the Inflation Reduction Act would come from carbon capture.
Despite being a major contributor of global carbon emissions, concrete remains a popular construction material. Research suggests this needs to change.
A climate scientist looks at what works and some popular ideas that aren’t as cheap or effective as people hope.
A review of S&P 500 companies finds carbon disclosure doesn’t necessarily mean emissions fall.
Climate change’s assault on the natural world may explain mystery methane emission surge.
Thanks to their high concentrations of phytoplankton, African lakes emit less CO2 than their boreal counterparts, with important consequences for climate modelling.
Thanks to humans, the concentration of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now 50% higher than before the industrial era. These gases are raising Earth’s temperature.
Our research shows NZ’s potential to burn forestry waste and capture the emissions in geothermal wells. But we’ll need new partnerships between power generators, manufacturers and the forestry sector.
When groundwater comes to the surface, sunlight and air convert organic molecules to greenhouse gases. That’s going to be a problem as we will need this water more as the world warms.
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be a boon for maize crops in tropical growing regions like those found in much of Africa.
The Earth is a resilient planet, but people are altering it in ways that may take centuries to reverse.
Using our oceans as carbon sinks could help achieve climate goals set in the most recent IPCC report.
While carbon dioxide removal from the air is not a replacement for emissions reductions, it can supplement these efforts. Experts are continually researching the best ways to do this.
The growing season on the tundra is starting earlier as the planet warms, but the plants aren’t sequestering more carbon, a new study finds.
New breakwater designs and more sustainable materials can cut the carbon cost of coastal defences by 40%.
Maintaining ecological balance in savannas is essential
