Results over rhetoric: COP31 can accelerate the decarbonisation of industry and supply chains
The wildfires devastating Southern Europe and North America now follow similar events in recent years in Australia, Brazil and even Siberia, not to mention floods in Germany and Australia. The scientific consensus is clear: climate change is worsening fires and extreme weather and poses a real threat to the survival of our species, unless we stop burning fossil fuels. This reasoning led to a landmark agreement at COP28 in Dubai, calling for a transition away from fossil fuels.
Nuclear energy is not viable for Australia, for a number of reasons
|
The prospect of nuclear power generation in Australia is now a live debate. There are a number of barriers that make nuclear unviable as a solution for Australia's energy transition in a timeframe necessary to respond to the climate, energy and cost-of-living crisis. We outline these below. We need energy, decarbonisation and cost of living solutions this decade. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends a 50 per cent emissions reduction by 2030.

Why Australia needs a National Environment Commission
WATCH: What is greenwashing? The 2020 State of the Environment report shows we are in a biodiversity crisis. Every environmental indicator is in decline. Australia has the worst extinction rate for mammal species in the world. How do we arrest and reverse this situation?
Why Australia needs a National Environment Commission
The government will establish an environmental protection authority to assess and transparently decide on development approvals, and to ensure compliance with development conditions. Environment Information Australia, within the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, will collect essential data to underpin decision-making on environmental issues. Both are welcome. But not enough.
Janaline Oh, Tim Buckley | Five bold reforms needed now to boost Australia's climate finance in a rapidly decarbonising world
Australian equity requirements should reflect that Australian resource companies generally pay their share of Australian taxes, returning benefits to the Australian people, while international companies operating here generally do not. FIRB guidelines for critical minerals could usefully set expectations for protecting Australia's national security, and increase global diversity of supply by avoiding excessive foreign control.

Watch: Federal energy minister announces steps being taken towards the future of energy in Australia May saw a significant shift in geostrategic energy dynamics, with Prime Minister Albanese and US President Biden agreeing on a Climate, Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Transformation Compact.
Janaline Oh | Indigenous Voice to Parliament is an anti-racist measure and a win for multicultural Asutralia
The British brought labourers from India to Australia from 1800. The earliest known migrant from China was Mak Sai-ying, who came as a free settler to Sydney in 1818, well before his compatriots sought their fortunes in the 1840s and 1850s. In another shameful episode, British brought indentured labourers from the Pacific islands from the 1850s.
Janaline Oh | Indigenous Voice to Parliament is an anti-racist measure and a win for multicultural Asutralia
The conversation about an Indigenous Voice to Parliament has so far centred around the relationship between Indigenous Australia and mainstream (read white) Australia. Yet non-Indigenous, non-European Australians are an increasing proportion of our population. So how will the Voice affect us?
Janaline Oh | Ahead of COP27, here's three things Australia can do to become a climate change leader
While most of the work Australia needs to do on this lies in domestic policy, the government should make a visible public commitment to not being part of the problem by providing international public finance to fossil fuel projects, but instead being part of the solution by assisting development partners to decarbonise their energy sectors.
