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 …
Indonesia is among the world’s ten biggest emitters and is Southeast Asia’s largest economy. Soon, the Government of Indonesia will update its pledge to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Known as a nationally determined contribution, or NDC, the new …
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, …
Transport is currently Australia’s third-largest and fastest-growing source of emissions. In the face of growing transport emissions and modest electric vehicle sales figures, Australia can bolster transport decarbonisation by expanding its approach to …
Transport is Australia’s fastest-growing and third-highest emitting sector. Relying solely on one technology, such as EVs, to reduce the country’s transport emissions could put decarbonisation goals at risk and prevent the nation from seizing the …
Major retailers in Australia wield significant economic influence. The sector is Australia’s second largest employer after healthcare, determines consumer choices and affects suppliers, producers and manufacturers across many economic sectors. Before the …
shutterstock Anna Skarbek, Monash University It will be tempting for some to overlook the climate change challenge in the rush to restart the economy after the pandemic. Federal energy minister Angus Taylor has flagged he wants to develop Australia’s gas- …
Climateworks Australia responds to the recent federal government releases, including the King Review response, and the Technology Investment Roadmap Discussion Paper announced today by Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor. “The …
A rapid reduction in transport emissions is possible with the solutions already known and poised for widespread implementation this decade, according to new research from Climateworks Australia. But more actions are needed if Australia’s transportation …
Climateworks Australia responds to today’s federal government announcement on the funding and ongoing role of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC). We support the broader mandate for ARENA and CEFC …
