  3. SHORT ARTICLE: We need to talk about haze
    Description
    The recent IPCC Working Group 1 report has made it clear that the climate crisis is not fundamentally a challenge of science but a challenge of our beliefs, commitments and actions. The UN Secretary General commented that "the evidence is irrefutable" and that the report sets out "a clear moral … imperative to protect the lives and livelihoods of those on the front lines of the climate crisis".

  4. SHORT ARTICLE: Addressing Modern Slavery
    Description
    Modern slavery has increasingly been linked to the environment; in particular environmental degradation and climate change. Modern slavery can be a driver of environmental change as well an outcome – changes in the environment can push people into situations where they may become vulnerable to modern slavery and vice versa. To address climate change, the impacts of modern slavery must be accounted for.

  9. SHORT ARTICLE: Can our grandchildren help us fund the transition to net zero?
    Description
    We are taking rapid steps toward low emission technology. Government subsidies have supported much of this progress.
