HVO coal extension: The coal price that assumes Paris fails
The operators of the HVO coal mine say the Paris Agreement will deal with the emissions from burning coal. But its business case depends on the Paris Agreement failing.
What we told the Climate Change Authority about Australia's progress
We set out reforms to the Safeguard Mechanism to deliver and amplify Australia's emissions reduction targets, and why those targets will stay out of reach while fuel subsidies and new fossil fuel approvals pull in the opposite direction.
The harms and costs of the HVO coal extension far outweigh its benefits
Extending two Hunter Valley coal mines would risk breaching Australia's international obligations, undermine the NSW net zero target, and rest on proponent-funded modelling that overstates the benefits while ignoring over 99.9% of its climate costs.
Submission: Carbon Credits and Other Legislation Amendment (Integrity and Transparency) Bill
Carbon offsetting must remain a limited tool, reserved for genuinely residual emissions after all feasible emissions reductions have been achieved.
How Australia values future lives at just 3 cents on the dollar
Australia's 7% discount rate makes future climate benefits worth nearly nothing in cost-benefit analysis. While peer countries update their frameworks, Australia's 37-year-old guidance remains "under review" after 2.5 years.
2026–27 Budget: It’s time to start phasing out fossil fuel subsidies
Climate Integrity recommends that the Australian Government phases out the Fuel Tax Credit Scheme, ending an effective fossil fuel subsidy that is provided primarily to emissions-intensive industries.
2026 ACCU Scheme Review Submission
Carbon offsetting must remain a limited tool, reserved for genuinely residual emissions after all feasible emissions reductions have been achieved.
Disinformation & Data-Washing Shaping Australian Energy Policy
Data-washing by consultancies is now one of the fossil fuel industry’s most powerful disinformation tools, giving flawed modelling the veneer of independence and delaying Australia’s clean energy transition.
Gas Market Review Consultation
Protecting or entrenching fossil gas use beyond essential short-term needs risks undermining both our climate commitments and our economic competitiveness in a decarbonising global economy.
Submission: Targets, Pathways and Progress
The authority should be using its unique advisory opportunity to strive for leadership towards by modeling targets, sector pathways and advice in line with the latest science that ensures Australia is contributing fairly to global emissions reduction obligations.
Submission: Mandatory climate disclosures
Mechanisms for holding corporations to account for making misleading statements about their climate action are critical for encouraging best-practice climate action plans and science-based emissions reductions.
Submission: Australia needs an ambition-raising regulatory landscape
Climate-related financial disclosures should be driving meaningful business action that is science-aligned to ensure real progress towards global 2030 emission reduction goals.
Submission: Voluntary action alone is not enough to drive business climate action
Voluntary action can be useful in determining the leaders from the laggards, but should not be used as the baseline for business climate action.
