  • REPORT: 30x30 From Global Ocean Treaty to Protection at Sea

    19 September 2023

    In March 2023, history was made when the UN finally agreed on a new Global Ocean Treaty. This Treaty is a powerful tool that can help protect at least 30% of the oceans by 2030.

  • REPORT: The Internal Combustion Engine Bubble

    11 November 2022

    Current auto industry planning is not aligned with a 1.5°C compatible carbon budget and might result in millions of vehicles manufacturers can’t sell. This report aims to shed light on these questions. It defines the number of ICE vehicles that could still be sold within a 1.5°C carbon trajectory and projects the auto industry’s ICE sales based on the assessment of four major manufacturers’ plans – Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai / Kia and General Motors – and quantifies the overshoot.

    The dirty secret behind Australia's most trusted carmaker. Toyota has been fighting against effective climate policy all over the world, including in Australia: blocking clean air regulation, flip-flopping on renewables and pressuring governments to support fossil fuel powered hybrid cars.

    Woodside promotes itself heavily to the public and its investors as a positive contributor to the climate transition. However, its actions indicate otherwise, and expose the company and its investors to multiple risks. Greenpeace has significant concerns about how Woodside is managing this risk.
