Queensland Book Launch: Regional Energy Transitions in Australia From Impossible to Possible

At this critical time in Australia’s history, there’s never been a more important time to learn from the regions and leaders driving the transition to net zero.

While the transition from fossil fuel electricity generation to renewable energy is well underway, many challenges remain, including growing community opposition, misinformation campaigns, and political and investor uncertainty. 

This panel event on Tuesday 1 April 2025 will explore the experience of the transition in five of Australia's key coal regions, including our very own Central Queensland. These insights are captured in the recently released book: Regional Energy Transitions: From impossible to possible. 

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

Come and be part of an honest and grounded conversation about where the energy transition is at, the challenges that remain, and what regions need to better manage the impacts and capture the benefits for the long term.  

Date: Tuesday 1 April 2025

Time: 5:15pm for 5:30 – 6:30pm
