On land, Australia has already passed 1.5°C of warming, bringing lower streamflows, more fire weather and marine heatwaves.
COP29 should end subsidies to fossil fuel companies, compel large-scale emitters to compensate affected regions and ensure that carbon taxes reflect the true cost of cleaning up pollution.
A proposed 36.1% electricity price hike in South Africa is unaffordable and out of line with the country’s development goals of making reliable electricity more available.
Surpassing 1.5°C of warming can be undone at a later date – using tech, land and resources that don’t exist.
Creating sustainable jobs that are regionally accessible, locally meaningful and economically desirable is the next big hurdle for Canadian policymakers aiming for a net-zero energy economy.
Australia and the Pacific are now tipped to be hosts of the 2026 global climate talks. That brings opportunity – and scrutiny.

Modelling finds the economic impacts of current emissions reduction commitments are limited for countries not heavily dependent on fossil fuel exports.
Ghana looks in the direction of nuclear power for help in achieving its industrial ambitions while contributing to the fight against climate change.
Global temperatures have averaged at least 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than preindustrial times for over a year. Two scientists explain what that means and what humanity can do.
