Research output: Contribution to journalOnline ResourceResearch

Abstract

[Extract]
The phrase “climate emergency” became part of the political lexicon this year. Governments at all levels made declarations of a climate emergency, as did various organisations such as the Australian Medical Association. Even the Pope joined in.

But what has this meant in practical terms? Very little so far, given the continuing rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.
