Please join us for the launch of the new book “Regional Energy Transitions in Australia: From Impossible to Possible” at ANU on Thursday, April 10.

There’s never been a more important time to reflect on Australia’s journey towards net zero and its impact on regional areas. While the transition from fossil fuel electricity generation to renewable energy is well underway, many challenges remain.

This event will focus on key lessons from five major coal regions covered in the book, including Port Augusta (SA), Collie (WA) , the Latrobe Valley (Vic), Hunter Valley (NSW) and Gladstone (Qld).

Professor Frank Jotzo from ANU will host a panel discussion between:

David Shankey - CEO, Net Zero Economy Authority
Dr Amanda Cahill - Co-editor and author, CEO of The Next Economy
Associate Professor Bec Colvin – Researcher on energy transition at ANU
Jo Evans – Former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

Panellists will explore how regional leaders across Australia continue to navigate complex energy challenges, highlighting key lessons from the last decade of rapid change.

The event will include audience discussion.

Doors open at 5PM, the panel will commence at 5:30PM.

Hosted by the ANU Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions and the Centre for Climate and Energy Policy at Crawford School.

Copies of the book will be available at the launch or order online via Routledge (use code 25AFLY1 for 20% off)
