Join two of Australia's climate leaders, The Hon Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy and Mr Matt Kean, Chair of the Climate Change Authority, reunited in their current roles for a timely and critical conversation on the state of climate action in Australia. Environmental strategist and sustainability educator, Jo Taranto, will moderate the conversation.

This discussion will reflect on how far Australia has come since their last shared appearance at Business Breakfast 2021 and explore what’s next as we enter the new phase of the climate transition. This moderated conversation will explore:

The current state of play on meeting Australia’s emissions reduction targets

Opportunities for business in the next phase of the transition

Australia’s international climate commitments, including COP outcomes

How recent EPBC Act reforms may influence climate policy and delivery

Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with leaders driving Australia’s climate agenda and learn what it means for business risk and growth.

A quality breakfast will be served and there will be ample opportunity to connect with peers throughout the morning. Expect to leave feeling informed, inspired and confident about the path forward.

Please register to secure your seat. Arrive at 7.00am for a 7.30am start - the event will conclude by 9:00am.
