    The Defence Strategic Review – A “Labor review” or just “Liberal light”?

    Ian Dunlop     |      June 27, 2023

    Climate change is the far greater, existential, threat we all face, requiring unprecedented global co-operation, not conflict. Instead of focusing purely on the risk of military conflict, major diplomatic efforts must be initiated to restore some level of trust between the West, China and other nations to achieve rapid emission reduction.

    The dominoes are falling fast. We face a climate emergency

    Ian Dunlop     |      June 10, 2022

    The massive task of quickly retooling the economy to a low-carbon system will require national mobilisation akin to wartime, but time is running out for humanity to make the necessary changes to avert a climate catastrophe.

    • Climate Change

    Can the financial system survive climate change?

    Ian Dunlop     |      August 29, 2021

    One of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal global response to the escalating climate crisis has been the preparedness of financial market regulators to force their regulated institutions to face up to the implications of climate risk.

    • Climate Change

    Net-zero emissions by 2050: leadership or climate colonialism?

    Ian Dunlop     |      November 21, 2020

    Australia already has solutions for the climate crisis, but they will require the same concerted national commitment, expertise and innovation seen in the handling of the COVID crisis.

    • Energy

    What must climate and energy policy really achieve?

    Ian Dunlop     |      November 20, 2020

    The Australian Government is dangerously out-of-touch as climate change accelerates and a cascade of tipping points risks unstoppable global warming.

    • Environment

    Putting the environment first

    Ian Dunlop     |      July 15, 2020

    The ongoing independent review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act offers Australia an opportunity to reset the dial and prioritise environmental custodianship over profit-led destruction.

    • Climate Change

    Tackling the real climate challenge

    Ian Dunlop     |      December 23, 2019

    As the nation burns, the Australian people must demand real action on the climate, but do we have political leaders ready to rise to the greatest threat – and opportunity – this country has ever faced?

    • Climate Change

    Protecting the future from the past, not the past from the future

    Ian Dunlop     |      August 6, 2019

    Human-induced climate change poses an existential threat to civilization that will render current political priorities irrelevant but our leaders still ignore the need for urgent action.

    • Climate Change

    Predatory delays in climate policy destroy our prosperity and threaten our survival

    Ian Dunlop     |      April 5, 2019

    The delaying tactics of politicians and business executives in regard to climate policy must end. We face a genuine climate emergency which requires the suspension of politics and business as usual to do whatever it takes to rapidly reduce carbon emissions.

    • Climate Change

    The elephant in the election room – The immediate existential threat of climate change

    Ian Dunlop     |      March 18, 2019

    Human-induced climate change is happening faster than officially acknowledged, but our leaders continue to ignore or downplay the dangers. To halt our suicidal rush to oblivion, the community must ensure no leader is elected or appointed in this country unless they are committed to emergency action.

    • Climate Change

    Humanity has a big decision to make in the climate end-game

    Ian Dunlop     |      August 24, 2018

    Humanity has a big decision to make very soon about its future on warming planet, but the Federal Coalition is still in denial that human-induced climate change even exists, let alone that the climate end-game is upon us.

    • Climate Change

    Climate change – The fiduciary responsibility of politicians and bureaucrats

    Ian Dunlop     |      June 1, 2018

    After three decades of global inaction, none more so than in Australia, human-induced climate change is now an existential risk to humanity. The Federal Parliament must recognise that climate change poses an unprecedented threat to Australia’s future prosperity and requires emergency action.
