Join our experts share their outlook on how Australia can chart a new path in climate leadership towards a vibrant low carbon economy.

Event Abstract: Australians have overwhelmingly voted for climate action and the introduction of the Climate Bill has excited the nation with a renewed sense of optimism and empowerment to decarbonise the economy. Australia is currently ranked 10th in the world for scientific research output and leads the world in uptake and innovation in solar technologies. This remarkable contribution highlights the expertise on hand to understand and join the global response to climate change.
