According to this report, Australia’s flagship climate policy, the Safeguard Mechanism, is failing miserably. Ahead of the Australian Government’s review of the scheme, this report explains why the permission to substitute real emissions abatement with offsets undermines the integrity of the policy, and how it benefits the fossil fuel companies.

This paper presents a series of positions focused on enabling emissions reductions across all major sectors of the economy. Together, these positions are intended to support the Australian Government’s 2035 emissions reduction targets and place Australia on a credible, resilient pathway to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

This paper presents a meta-analysis of ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of mitigation policies on emissions. It covers a range of pricing and non-pricing mitigation policies across five broad sectors: agriculture, forestry and other land use, buildings, industry, power and transport. The analysis assesses how policy design attributes and country-specific factors impact estimated policy...

The final report of the carbon leakage review undertaken between 2023 and 2025. Carbon leakage occurs when domestic production moves to countries with weaker climate policies. The review assessed potential measures to mitigate this risk and whether additional policies are needed. It found existing policy measures mitigate leakage risks in the short to medium term.
