Australia faces decisions on 30 fossil fuel developments

Australia faces decisions on 30 fossil fuel developments, potentially releasing over 20bn tonnes of CO2. This exceeds Australia's remaining 1.5C "carbon budget" and is about 40% of annual global emissions. Most emissions would be overseas, not counting against Australia. Greenpeace urges action at UN Cop28. The list includes a 6.1bn tonne gas project and 2.3bn tonne coalmine expansions. Changes to offset emissions are in progress. The impact may exceed estimates.
