I wrote for @ProSyn on Brazil's plans to launch a new climate fund at COP30 - just as wealthy countries cut aid and climate finance becomes more scarce. Now is the time to fix a fragmented, inefficient climate finance system, not add to its complexity. shorturl.at/GgbsH

Writing in The Interpreter, @GeorgiaHammersl says Australia's compromise with Türkiye to host COP31 has narrowed Pacific influence, but the region can still shape outcomes by pushing for climate finance reform and protecting adaptation funding. 👉lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

An interesting article in The Interpreter about China’s advantages in the energy transition, by my @LowyInstitute colleagues @RobWalk3R and @GeorgiaHammersl 👇 lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

The @LowyInstitute's @Mel_Pill & @GeorgiaHammersl write in The Interpreter, while COP30 is symbolically significant, deep-seated issues like weak commitments, major financing shortfalls & geopolitical divisions mean it is likely to disappoint again. 👉lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Interesting paper from my @LowyInstitute colleagues @RolandMRajah, @rjduke and @GeorgiaHammersl on how Australia can best contribute to climate adaptation in the Pacific. lowyinstitute.org/publications/h…

My colleagues @RolandMRajah, @rjduke and @GeorgiaHammersl have a sharp new @LowyInstitute Policy Brief out today. Bottom line: More infrastructure, not advisers needed in Australia’s climate strategy in the Pacific. aapnews.aap.com.au/news/more-infr…

Exceptional work from my colleagues @RolandMRajah @rjduke @GeorgiaHammersl: lowyinstitute.org/publications/h…

Australia could boost Pacific climate adaptation by nearly $500m a year by shifting aid from advisers to infrastructure, argue @RolandMRajah, @rjduke & @GeorgiaHammersl in a new @LowyInstitute Policy Brief. lowyinstitute.org/publications/h…

Important new research from @rjduke released today.

In 2021-22, the 19 climate funds tracked by the UN’s Standing Committee on Finance delivered a mere $3.7 billion, points out @GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute).

Far from creating yet another climate fund, as Brazil has proposed, delegates at COP30 should focus on streamlining climate finance, argues @GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute). bit.ly/4k9TqTW

Thrilled to see that our paper on #Cambodia's growth scenarios with @RolandMRajah is publicly available now. See paper and findings here: cdri.org.kh/publication/a-…

"Over the past three decades, more than 60 multilateral funds have emerged to raise financing for climate action in developing countries. Most are small and obscure." @GeorgiaHammersl (@LowyInstitute) paints a picture of a climate-finance landscape that is fragmented, crowded, and inefficient – and suggests how to fix it. bit.ly/3RY9egK

Far from creating yet another climate fund, delegates at COP30 should focus on streamlining climate finance, argues @GeorgiaHammersl in a new piece for @ProSyn. project-syndicate.org/commentary/bra…

Good to see my @LowyInstitute colleague @GeorgiaHammersl writing about climate finance for @ProSyn. project-syndicate.org/commentary/bra…

Support for Australia's bid to host the UN's annual climate summit was a rare foreign policy split between the two parties in the federal election. In @Diplomat_APAC, the @LowyInstitute's @GraceStanhope writes that it may be a defining policy for the PM. thediplomat.com/2025/05/what-c…

White House officials cite transhipment concerns as a basis for the high tariffs on Vietnam & Cambodia. @RolandMRajah & I find that the majority of the value add in Vietnam's exports are sourced domestically & from non-China sources. lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Great update by my colleague @GeorgiaHammersl on the status of global climate pledges due this year. With a world reeling from the turmoil of Trump 2.0, it’s important we don’t take our eye off this critical mission: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

Climate pledge delays: The world can’t afford more hot air, by @LowyInstitute IPDC @GeorgiaHammersl - Global temps have exceeded 1.5°C, yet major emitters are delaying climate commitments. With the U.S. absent, global ambition is at risk. lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…
