Coronavirus set to cause largest ever annual fall in CO2 emissions
Covid-19 could trigger largest ever annual fall in CO2 emissions in 2020 – but even this would not come close to bringing the 1.5°C global temperature limit within reach.

Biggest drop in CO2 emissions in 30 years in 2019 – but it’s not nearly enough
Declining coal generation delivered a 2% fall in global power sector emissions. But we need 11% falls each year to 2030 to have any hope of meeting climate targets.

Renewables keep crunching Australia’s electricity emissions – no thanks to federal policy
Latest National Energy Emissions Audits show large-scale renewables generation – increasingly big solar – still driving steady fall in electricity sector emissions, while a thriving rooftop PV market cancels out any increase in grid power consumption. But will the dearth of federal policy take a toll?
