How do UN climate negotiations actually work? It’s a Party-driven process—countries set the agenda and negotiate line-by-line. Everything is decided by consensus. I’ve found that this explains both the legitimacy of outcomes and why progress can be slow.

Fuel crisis exposes decades of policy failure Australia’s fuel crisis may have been triggered by global conflict – but it reflects decades of political failure to reduce oil dependence and plan for transition.

Successive governments ignored known risks, delayed energy transition and now face the consequences, Crispin Hull writes.

Each panel displays public support for air-travel carbon taxation policies, averaged across twelve evaluated policies per respondent

This paper shows support for an air‑travel carbon tax is modest and highly design‑dependent: higher taxes reduce support, green earmarking boosts it, and climate concern drives backing for progressive designs. Frequent flyers are less supportive. spkl.io/63327AFwhN #ClimatePolicy
