"Almost 35 years have passed since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change released its first assessment report. It found human activities were
substantially increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other gases
ion the atmosphere, which was warming the global climate.
Since then, countries around the world have introduced a slew of policies
designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But what actually worked?
This question is at the heart of a landmark new paper by German researchers.
They analysed 1,500 climate policies implemented around the world over the past
two decades, and found only a small fraction were effective.
Importantly, they found most emissions reduction relied on a mix of policies.
The results point to a way forward for Australia, where an economy-wide carbon
price is currently politically impossible."
