Vietnam is poised to play a significant role in the Indo-Pacific region’s decarbonisation. Now is the time for Australia to strengthen its strategic relationship with the country, and the broader Southeast Asia region.
Australia must utilise its comprehensive strategic partnership with ASEAN to share knowledge and advance areas for collaboration, to accelerate the energy transition and green economy.
The event has prompted questions about the reliability of the state’s electricity grid. But it’s important to note these extreme winds would have seriously disrupted any power system.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C, but only if we act quickly and seize the enormous opportunities offered in fast decarbonisation.
From natural seawalls to mangroves, countries are starting to combat climate change with nature-based solutions. COP28 might drive more of these efforts.
Despite existing frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles, more precise guidance on implementing standards to combat modern slavery are needed.
Deep-sea mining technology is a new field, and researchers want more data on its impacts.
Universities are well-positioned to demonstrate crucial leadership in the global race towards net zero. Here’s how.
If we’re to effectively tackle the critical challenge of climate change, we urgently need a better and more coordinated global transformation to environmentally-friendly economies.
After a decade of climate wars, Australia is suddenly united, with state, territory and federal governments aiming for net zero by 2050 for the first time.
On a new episode of Monash University’s ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, discover how we can ensure our transition to a decarbonised future is just.
On a new episode of Monash University’s ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, we examine whether mining and sustainability can go hand-in-hand as we transition to a decarbonised future,
This year’s election results show Australians are eager for fast action on climate change. Here are four ways our new prime minister can deliver energy reform to meet emission targets.
Critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium and rare earth elements abound in Australia, but we’re not making the most of these in-demand resources.
Climate change has emerged as a major election issue for voters, but still the major parties are excluding it from their campaign platforms – at their peril.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
The increasing consumer demand for renewable and sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics has driven the innovation of biopolymer-based packaging.
To ensure hydrogen meets the goals of sustainable production, life cycle assessment and net energy analyses should be integrated with project planning to inform decision-making.
To supercharge the climate fight, we need to mitigate the environmental and financial impact of producing lithium-ion technology, and develop lower-carbon batteries.
Electricity should be a main focus, but big improvements are also needed in transport, industry, agriculture and buildings.
The use of air purifiers is on the rise, but the energy sector is yet to consider what the uptake might mean for household energy use and our decarbonisation goals.
Australia has abundant wind and solar resources to provide large quantities of cost-competitive green hydrogen. A new tool can show the way forward.
Artificial intelligence in all its forms will play a crucial role in the design and operation of the future carbon-free electricity grid.
A 2050 net zero goal will provide clarity, ambition and focus. But Scott Morrison must back rhetoric with investment and policy commensurate with the task.
