The moment I knew: On a bike ride, she did a bunny hop over a speed hump – her pure joy for life delighted me
Anna Malos and Georgie at Lands End in 2010 Photograph: Anna Malos Georgie and I met at a kick-boxing club in London in 2004. We sparred together in a few beginner classes, just hitting soft pads. Although I didn’t pay her too much attention initially, I immediately recognised she was tall, elegant and very good looking. It wasn’t until the club’s Christmas drinks that things kicked off between us. We started talking and couldn’t stop.
The Liberals dropped net zero. Will it make any difference to Australia’s climate response?
On Thursday, the Liberals reversed their commitment to net zero by 2050. While it’s impossible to predict precisely what this decision means for climate action in Australia, the policies and laws already in place suggest momentum will continue. There’s no question the climate policies of opposition parties matter – especially for investor and business confidence. But understanding the policies and laws already in place helps understand where progress will happen regardless.

7 things we can do today to meet Australia’s new climate goal
The federal government on Thursday announced a 2035 emissions reduction target of 62-70% below 2005 levels. Importantly, it also released a net zero plan and blueprints for six major economic sectors. The target signals Australia is committed to a net zero economy. The plans will help guide the way in each sector. Our work shows Australia has the technologies to meet and exceed its new target. With solutions known and ready, the work now is to ensure they’re deployed at scale.
Australia can hit an 85 per cent emissions cut by 2035 - if government and business seize the moment
Discussions are hotting up over Australia’s 2035 emission reduction target, which the federal government is due to reveal by September this year. It will be a crucial announcement, for several reasons. The target signals to the world whether Australia is willing to do its fair share to tackle global warming. The decision will also guide Australia’s pathway to its net-zero goal. And it will be closely watched by Pacific nations, urging Australia to step up on climate policy.

Australia can hit an 85% emissions cut by 2035 – if government and business seize the moment
We are confident Australia can achieve this – and go further. Our modelling suggests emissions reduction up to 85% is achievable. A stronger target also makes economic sense, by positioning industry to make the most of Australia’s competitive advantages on the road to a net zero economy. Building momentum Under the Paris Agreement, to which Australia is signed up, nations must submit a series of plans outlining proposed emissions reductions.

5 huge climate opportunities await the next parliament – and it has the momentum to deliver
Australians have returned an expanded Labor Party to government alongside a suite of climate-progressive independents. Meanwhile, the Coalition – which promoted nuclear energy and a slower renewables transition – suffered a historic defeat. Labor also looks set to have increased numbers in the Senate, where the Greens are likely to hold the balance of power. These numbers mean support for progressive climate and energy policy in Australia’s 48th parliament is shaping as stronger than the last.

Making aluminum uses 10% of Australia's electricity. Will tax incentives help smelters go green?
Aluminum is an exceptionally useful metal. Lightweight, resistant to rust and able to be turned into alloys with other metals. Small wonder it's the second-most used metal in the world after iron and demand is set to soar. But aluminum comes at a cost—energy. The four aluminum smelters in Australia consume 10% of the nation's electricity and produce close to 5% of total emissions. Smelting is so energy intensive that in many countries, it has driven the construction of new fossil fuel power plants.

Net-zero pathways - Openforum
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 report, which provides vital scaffolding for Australia’s climate ambitions. Hopefully, it will inform the Australian government’s upcoming decarbonisation plans for each sector of the economy, and its updated goal for emissions reduction out to 2035.

'Everything, everywhere, all at once': Australia's survival in a warmer world will be a mammoth multi-tasking effort
Much of the climate conversation in Australia to date has centered on actions to limit global warming, recognizing that each increment of warming contributes to worsening climate extremes. In a recently released book, Living Hot: Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet, authors Clive Hamilton and George Wilkenfeld argue while emissions reduction should continue, Australia should refocus its efforts on "adaptation," or building resilience to the effects of climate change.

How could Australia actually get to net zero? Here's how Original
Every bit of warming matters if we want to avoid the worst impacts for climate change, as the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows. In 2020, we released modelling showing how Australia could get to net zero faster – and keep the Paris Agreement goal of holding warming to 1.5°C in play. Our new update shows this is still the case.

In an energy crisis, every watt counts. So yes, turning off your dishwasher can make a difference
Australia’s east coast energy market has been on a rocky road for the past few weeks. It begs the question: how could the market change to avoid the next crisis? To date, discussion has largely focused on the need to generate more energy. But there’s another way to ease strain on the system – by using less energy. Last week, New South Wales residents were asked to find safe ways to consume less power during the evening peak, such as not running dishwashers until after they went to bed.
In Australia, the Greens & Teals Will Turn Up the Heat on Labor's Climate Policy
Greens and teal independents are aligned with Labor on legislating Australia’s net-zero emissions target and reinvigorating institutions such as the Climate Change Authority. A climate change bill, which Steggall and others championed in the last parliament, is more comprehensive. It would provide legislated timeframes for action on climate change, and implement a process ensuring targets are in line with the science.
The teals and Greens will turn up the heat on Labor's climate policy. Here's what to expect
Public concern over climate change was a clear factor in the election of Australia’s new Labor government. Incoming Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has committed to action on the issue, declaring on Saturday night: “Together we can take advantage of the opportunity for Australia to be a renewable energy superpower”. Following Labor’s win, frontbencher Richard Marles said the new government would stick to the climate policies it took to the election.
Australia could get to net zero emissions much quicker than 2050 if our politics was a force for change Original
Australia could grasp a cleaner and more liveable future. Credit: Shutterstock Let's imagine Australia was able to use politics to work on the single largest threat facing us: climate change. Our current goal is net zero by 2050. But we could do it much faster. Our modeling shows we could get there by 2035. That's just 13 years away. Just think of last week's audacious bid by tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes to take over our largest emitting company, AGL, and rapidly retire its fossil fuel assets.

The Morrison government has announced a 2050 net zero commitment. Here's a 'to do' list for each sector
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has finally struck a deal with the Nationals and is expected to take a pledge of net zero greenhouse emissions by 2050 to the Glasgow climate conference. So what must Australia do to actually meet this target? ClimateWorks has worked with CSIRO to assess the pathways each sector of Australia's economy can follow to reduce emissions, and identified a sector-by-sector "to do" list.

Does your energy company take climate change seriously? A new report has the answer
Credit: Shutterstock A landmark report released last week put coal and gas on notice. For the first time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) declared reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 means no new investments in fossil fuel supply projects. For Australia—a continent blessed with a bounty of wind and sun—the phasing out of coal and gas investment should be considered a boon.

Zali Steggall's new climate change bill comes just as economic sectors step up
Yesterday, Zali Steggall, the independent member for Warringah, introduced her long-awaited climate change bill to the Australian parliament. Much of the debate around the bill centres on what needs to be done for Australia to reach net zero emissions by 2050. That’s a crucial discussion — but it’s equally vital to recognise what’s already been committed.
