Climate commitments abound in corporate Australia. For more than a decade, companies of all sizes have increasingly made climate and sustainability commitments as investor and customer pressure to act on the climate emergency intensifies. In 2023, the …
Over the next two decades, Australia will need to reduce its electricity sector emissions to near zero. It will need to do this while meeting rapidly increasing electricity demand to support other sectors of the economy in decarbonising. Climateworks …
New scenario modelling by Monash University’s Climateworks Centre demonstrates that Australia can bolster transport decarbonisation by expanding its approach to include a suite of solutions, calling for a shift in the way governments plan and fund …
Australia’s push for net-zero emissions received a welcome boost on Thursday, with the release of an official report showing how Australia can seek to cut domestic emissions across each sector of the economy. The Climate Change Authority prepared the …
The Australian Government is developing a national Net Zero Plan, to be guided by six sector plans covering all major parts of the economy. One of those sector plans is an opportunity for the Australian Government to take a leading role in decarbonising …
Indonesia has signalled it could include blue carbon ecosystems — carbon-rich coastal and marine areas, like mangroves and seagrass — in its new climate targets. This shift follows years of relying heavily on the forestry and land sectors as well as the …
There is no net zero emissions without nature. In 2023, that was brought to the attention of the world at COP28 in Dubai. Climate and biodiversity were explicitly linked and the term ‘nature positive’ gained significant traction. Nature positive, is an …

So far, Australia’s strategies to reduce its transport emissions have focussed on increasing the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs). But with transport being Australia’s fastest-growing source of emissions, Climateworks Centre’s latest transport scenario …
Australian mining and energy giant Fortescue announced late on Wednesday that its ambitious green energy goal – to produce 15 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030 – will be placed on hold. As part of a broader restructure, the company will …
Australia’s transport sector needs to decarbonise fast in order to meet emissions reductions in line with limiting global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. But focusing solely on electric vehicles (EVs) to get us there is unlikely to be enough. …
In 2022, ASEAN nations’ installed solar and wind capacity was less than 1 per cent of the region’s potential, according to independent energy think tank EMBER. This vast untapped potential presents significant investment opportunities, said Dr Dinita …
A holistic, multidimensional approach to the energy transition was central to a two-week immersive experience for climate and energy leaders from Indonesia and Vietnam in early 2024. Climateworks Centre hosted 15 leaders for the inaugural Southeast Asia …
Australia’s energy system will look different in a net zero emissions future. To play its part in addressing global climate change, Australia will need to rapidly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions – including emissions from its electricity system. This …
Transport is Australia’s third-largest source of emissions. It’s also the fastest growing – it’s set to become the nation’s largest source of emissions by 2030. There is an opportunity to improve Australia’s transport choice and make travel more efficient …
