Event description
“…all nations of the world have acknowledged the reality that our future is in clean energy, and the age of fossil fuels will end.”
— Hon. Chris Bowen, Climate Change and Energy Minister
At the 2023 United Nations Climate Conference (COP28), in Dubai, the Australian Government, along with the parties of the Paris Agreement, signed an international agreement to “transition away” from fossil fuels
As the world’s 13th largest economy and the world’s third largest fossil fuel exporter, Australia has a special responsibility to lead the effort in a global transition away from fossil fuels and to help our nation’s trading partners, regional neighbours and those most vulnerable to the climate crisis to respond accordingly.
Australia plays an outsized role in the international ecosystem. The integrity of Australia’s policies across all areas —climate, environment, tax, health, security, technology, human rights and foreign affairs— have significant and interrelated implications both here and abroad.
As ecosystem collapse compounds and exacerbates existing environmental, social and economic issues, it is also presenting entirely new threats to humanity, making Australia’s leadership, fortitude and genuine collaboration at home and on the international stage more important than ever.
Featuring a range of prominent international and local experts, the 2025 Climate Integrity Summit will show Australia’s domestic and international integrity influences the international context and how the 2025 federal election outcome will shape global climate action.
