COP21: UN Climate Change Conference
The UN climate change conference is hailed as a potential turning point in the global climate fight. Eco-Business brings you the latest news and analysis from Paris.
The Paris agreement is not perfect, but a constructive response would be to encourage the process. Extreme activists who describe it as a failure ironically chip away at the potential of the deal to bring about the very outcomes they desire.
As worldwide demand for coal stalls, some experts believe the industry is now in such dire straits that it won’t be able to compete with renewables in future.
Despite its vital role in the development of Australia's economy, the future of coal looks grim in a world aiming to limit warming to below two degrees Celsius, says Newcastle University academic Gary Ellem.

The net-zero imperative
The Paris agreement has made big leaps in setting a cap for global temperature rise and international climate finance, but the important target to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions was left out, say Oxford University's Eric Beinhocker and Myles Allen.
