This is Australia’s most important report on the environment’s deteriorating health. We present its grim findings
Many Australian ecosystems have evolved to rebound from extreme “natural” events such as bushfires. But the frequency, intensity, and compounding nature of recent events are greater than they’ve experienced throughout their recent evolutionary history.

We studied how the Antarctic ice sheet advanced and retreated over 10,000 years. It holds warnings for the future
Research supports the idea that the Antarctic ice sheet is poised to lose more ice and raise sea levels – particularly if the ocean continues to warm.

No more excuses: restoring nature is not a silver bullet for global warming, we must cut emissions outright
We now need new international cooperation and agreements to stop expansion of fossil fuels globally and for governments to strengthen their national climate pledges under the Paris Agreements ratcheting mechanism. Promises of carbon dioxide removals via land cannot justify delays in these necessary actions.
