Fair energy transitions in practice: Insights for policy, industry and research.

Join RMIT University, RACE for 2030, the Monash Energy Institute and the Sustainability Transitions Lab at Monash University Business School for a one-day forum exploring how fair and low-carbon energy transitions can be delivered in practice.

The forum will feature an address by Professor Benjamin Sovacool, a leading international scholar in low-carbon transitions, energy policy, energy justice and the governance of energy systems. The program will bring together policymakers, industry representatives, researchers, higher degree by research candidates, early career researchers and civil society organisations to examine the challenges and opportunities shaping Australia’s energy future.

The day will include a hybrid public forum, a closed policy roundtable, an HDR/ECR masterclass and an industry networking event.

The event is FREE, but registration is required.
