Alarmingly, Earth’s climate will change for many centuries to come. But we must still push to reach net-zero emissions as quickly as possible.
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.
