It’s critical that we address the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced with an even bigger solution.

Only Canada and Russia are reducing subsidies - Australia can do the same

Fossil fuels can't wind back without a robust, comprehensive and popular carbon price - a ‘climate dividend’.

The policy faces the same challenge as climate policy - it is trying to reduce consumption of a product that is aggressively promoted, heavily subsidised and is expanding production.

A welcome start to reversing the carbon price we have been paying to support fossil fuel production and consumption for many decades.

Human society’s fossil-fuel addiction is threatening our survival. Climate dividends can help us wean off.

A dividend paid to households does much more for carbon pricing than making it more popular with voters; it engages citizens in the process of decarbonising our economy, it makes it more just and equitable, and it makes it more efficient. 

Climate change is an increasing threat to national security. As countries are faced with more frequent and intense climate-related disasters, there will be a rise in geopolitical tensions and an increase in demand for economic, humanitarian, and military resources. Protecting our national safety now offers yet another reason for introducing effective climate policy.

Our environment minister has no grounds on which to refuse applications for climate damaging proposals. She needs a climate trigger. Or perhaps a robust price on carbon.

How does the Safeguard Mechanism (SGM) relate to Carbon Pricing and what is CCL Australia’s point of view? Read this article and feel better informed when speaking to politicians and other people about the role of the Safeguard Mechanism.

Climate change and poverty are inextricably linked. The channels through which climate change affects the poor are vast. Reaching Net Zero targets is important in not only protecting the environment and global economies, but also in taking meaningful steps to support disadvantaged sectors of our communities.

Carbon border taxes are now becoming a part of governments’ agendas in an effort to fight climate change while protecting domestic industry. But what does this mean for Australia?

With current global inflation at a multi-decade high, there is concern that introducing a carbon tax could add further fuel to the fire. But is this necessarily the case? Cross-country evidence from current carbon pricing schemes may suggest otherwise.

The severity of the climate crisis requires powerful corrective action and comprehensive policy solutions to be successful. Unfortunately, the complex politics of climate lead to piecemeal solutions being chosen. This is a problem. 

Climate politics is very complicated and produces complex policies. Thankfully, the solution is pretty simple.

The story of Australia’s first carbon price instructive. It will help us plan for the next one!

Our contribution to the Safeguard Reform consultation is full of important policy information - a model of rational policy in a sea of complexity and confusion

A brief introduction to the Greenhouse Effect, greenhouse gases and the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in context.

If Australia is serious in our commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, then there is no longer room for imprudent policy design: the use of carbon pricing is essential. So what would a carbon pricing scheme look like in Australia and what are the financial implications?
