Swings and Roundabouts: The unexpected effects of Carbon Border Adjustments on Australia. 'Australia should pay close attention to the development of carbon border adjustments overseas; seek to improve these overseas adjustments and win fair treatment for Australian businesses, including through data recognition agreements; and examine border adjustments alongside alternative options as we develop plans for a prosperous net zero emissions future.' (The Australian Industry Group (AiGroup), Canberra) >

'Extreme weather events are putting Australian homes, communities and livelihoods under pressure andincreasing the financial risk to Australian governments. Investing in resilience protects Australian households, can improve access to affordable insurance coverage, and reduces the risk to taxpayers of providing direct financial assistance. Resilience is a win for households, a win for business, and a win for governments.' (Insurance Council of Australia and Finity Consulting P/L) >

Zali Steggall's 5-step plan to Net Zero for Australia. 'Let’s focus on this 5-step plan making a smooth and sensible transition to a carbon neutral economy. It enables us to make the most of our natural advantages, while creating opportunities and well-paid, smart jobs.' (Zali Steggall MP - Federal Parliament - Member for Warringah) >

Climate change: a threat to human wellbeing and health of the planet. Taking action now can secure our future. 'Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world, despite efforts to reduce the risks. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report' (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) >

'Climate policies and greenhouse-gas emissions for the twenty-first century are modelled as the result of coupled feedback effects in the social, political and energy systems. Our models suggest that climate policies will increase in ambition and associated emissions reductions will probably accelerate, resulting in warming of 2 °C to 3 °C above 1880–1910 levels by 2100.'

Responsibility of major emitters for country-level warming and extreme hot years. 'The emissions of just five economies, China, the US, the EU, India and Russia, over the period 1991-2030 will double the number of countries experiencing extreme hot years every second year by 2030.'(Climate Analytics, Berlin) >
