The evidence of a climate emergency is now undeniable. Any coherent response requires a rapid phase-out of coal-fired electricity generation. This paper examines the steps required for the first stage in decarbonisation: a transition away from coal-fired power generation in Australia and the mining and export of thermal coal.

In a fast-paced era of disruptive changes, this brief aims at facilitating strategic sharing of knowledge between the World Energy Council’s members and other energy stakeholders and policy shapers.

This publication is Australia’s first comprehensive guide to reaching zero emissions in the transportation sector. It draws from an extensive survey of over 300 reports, research papers, news articles and transport policy documents, which where were collated over nine months.

Federal Energy Minister, Angus Taylor, wants Australia to have a ‘gas-fired recovery’. But how dirty is gas? And has its time as a ‘transition fuel’ already come and gone? This short report looks at the state of gas projects in Australia and its contribution to climate problems.

If the world is to avoid the worst effects of dangerous climate change, we must all take urgent action to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Australia has signed up to three separate sets of targets for reducing its emissions. This explainer takes an independent look at how Australia is tracking against each of them.
