Energy and Resources Lunch with Matt Kean, Chair of the Climate Change Authority

Date: Wednesday February 12
Time: 12pm - 2pm
Location: McDonald Jones Stadium, Merewether Room (Eastern Grandstand). 

The Climate Change Authority is an independent statutory body providing expert advice to the Australian government on climate change policy. This advice covers Australia’s contributions under the Paris Agreement; national emissions reduction targets; the efficacy of emissions reduction schemes; greenhouse gas and energy reporting; and more. In this context, significant challenges and opportunities lie ahead for the transport, energy and resources sectors impacting big and small emitters across industry in the Hunter region.

Join us for a pivotal discussion on the role of the Authority and the insights from its work for business and industry in the region and the nation more broadly. Matt Kean, Chair of the Climate Change Authority and former NSW Minister for Energy, will be the keynote speaker at our upcoming Energy and Resources Lunch.
