A new joint report from property data firm PropTrack and the Climate Council has found climate pollution is driving worsening floods that are already hitting the value of Australians’ greatest financial asset: their home.

The recent report, At Our Front Door by the Climate Council highlights where homes and businesses are most at risk from climate-fuelled flooding, bushfires, tropical cyclone winds, coastal inundation, and extreme wind. 

The Climate Council says Australians are being kept in the dark about the true costs of the federal Coalition’s risky and expensive nuclear scheme, saying heavy reliance on the first of two Frontier Economics reports paints a damning picture of the methods they may use to fudge the nuclear numbers and mislead Australians.

The World Energy Outlook 2024 from the International Energy Agency has found that we are moving at speed into the age of electricity, underpinned by clean energy sources like solar and wind.

The Climate Council says many more Australian families can directly benefit from rooftop solar and batteries under a new plan that spells out how we can electrify the nation and cut climate pollution this decade.

Thanks to years of political inaction, Australia is one of the few countries in the world not to have a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard. The European Union, New Zealand and China have one. Even the United States has a standard, which means new cars in Australia use 20 per cent more fuel and create 20 per cent more pollution than their American counterparts. With the Albanese Government about to introduce legislation to correct this situation, the Coalition is busily dusting off the 'war on utes/the weekend' rhetoric.

The Climate Council is sounding the alarm on a severe bleaching event unfolding across the Great Barrier Reef, with new vision showing the damage that stretches more than 1,100 kilometres from Lizard Island to the Keppel Islands.

Data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service this week has confirmed that 2023 was the Earth’s hottest year on record by a large margin.

An Australian ‘let it rip’ climate strategy is taking a terrible toll on communities, the Climate Council says, as people on the Northern Rivers reel from recent flood disasters.

In response to the event flooding event that devastated much of the Northern Rivers, the Climate Council is calling for action and accountability to avoid further such harm and greater protections for communities and emergency services.
