This document explains the key points from the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment report, in relation to climate change and Australia.

This Sixth IPCC Assessment Report addresses the most up-to-date physical understanding of the global climate system and climate change, bringing together the latest advances in climate science, and combining multiple lines of evidence from paleoclimate, observations, process understanding, and global and regional climate simulations.

This paper, the first of two, analyses the domestic politics at the nexus of the Biden-Harris Administration’s policies on trade and climate.

The transport sector is responsible for nearly 20 per cent of Australia’s emissions, and more than 60 per cent of transport emissions are from light vehicles. This report argues that the best policy response would be for the Australian government to introduce an economy-wide emissions price.

This paper outlines areas that the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) sees as requiring focus in accelerating innovation for emissions reduction.
