Enough time has been lost arguing “jobs versus climate” – the transition to renewable energy is now rightly understood as an economic opportunity, rather than a detrimental trade-off.
Second-generation biofuels made from agricultural residues, wood and plant waste support the shift to sustainable energy, but processing them still has its challenges.
Sustainable aviation fuel, made from non-petroleum feedstocks, is the most promising path to reducing aviation’s carbon footprint, but it’s not without its challenges.
Education policymakers, businesses and the IT industry are all having their say about what AI in education might look like in the future, but one voice is missing from all these prognostications – the students who it will impact.
Emissions pathways act as a map of the future, showing us how to get from where we are to where we want to be.
Cost-of-living increases, inflation, and energy prices affect everyone. And that matters even more when we’re amid a significant generational shift in voting patterns.
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.
