"As a member of the Pacific Island Forum, Australia’s actions are in sharp contradiction to its platitudes around caring for the Pacific ‘family.’ The Woodside project is a demonstration of Australia’s glaring disconnect between rhetoric and action."

Got the classic "ask that person over there" treatment by multiple Australian government departments when asked why exactly they decided to defer their EPA/EIA 'nature positive' laws.

Could the decline of fossil fuels be Australia’s chance to become a clean exports giant? | Frank Jotzo
Leading the charge towards clean energy would bring some much-needed positive momentum to international climate policy When Australia announces its 2035 emissions target to the world, there will be a unique opportunity to promote Australia’s ambition to help other countries decarbonise through exports of renewable energy-based commodities, while coal and gas exports will fall. Coal and gas exports from Australia are equivalent to well over a billion tonnes of CO2 when burned in other countries. That is around 3% of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions – far more than Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions at home that the national emissions target applies to. Continue reading...

Quite remarkable. Not an opinion, but a demonstrable fact: the prime minister has rejected a policy his government promised for the good of the country in the name of short-term parochial politics in a state captured by vested interests.

As Cop29 wraps up and the climate crisis gathers pace, Australia’s dash for gas is confounding | Bill Hare
Nearly all observers believe Chris Bowen is strongly committed to action. Most agree that can’t be said for his party Cop29 in Baku has concluded but its outcome is disappointing – in many dimensions. Its decisions on finance – agreeing that the developed world would provide US$300bn a year by 2035 – come nowhere close to what’s needed. Ultimately, it may even be poisonous because of its lack of ambition and muddled scope – it does not even cover loss and damage. Baku saw little sense of urgency or increased climate action, despite the universal message from scientific studies, including the Climate Action Tracker. Our global update this year found that in the last three years there’s been virtually no improvement in either action on the ground, nor ambition to take action in the future. And this is despite a series of seemingly never-ending, global warming-linked deadly catastrophes unfolding around the world. Continue reading...
