The United Nations’ International Panel on Climate Change has released its latest report on the future of the planet – and it’s not good news.

Professor Will Steffen is a climate change expert and researcher at the Australian National University, Canberra and Councillor on the Climate Council.  Professor Will takes us through what the new report means for Australia – and what Australia should be doing to reduce emissions.

Are we right to point the finger at big polluters like China and India?  Should we be doing more as a first world country to help developing nations reach the world’s goals?  The answer is yes. 

In this Briefing, what the IPCC’s new report means for Australia.
