There is no single pathway to decarbonisation for Australia.
Despite limited time to meet our 1.5°C targets, there are a range of ways the country can get there, with opportunities across sectors to seize the benefits of a net zero future. Climateworks has most recently explored the potential pathways for two of those sectors, energy and industry, to support the speed and scale of Australia’s transition.
Join us for our second deep dive into decarbonising the nation, as we explore the role of pathways in guiding the transition to net zero emissions.
Hosted by Climateworks Research and Analysis Manager Michael Li, our panel of experts speak to our most recent analysis and findings, and what they could mean for industry and energy in Australia.
Ro Maxwell, our Senior Project Manager for Research, presents our latest industrial pathways and the role they can play in influencing the shape, scale and speed of the transition.
Glen Currie, Program Impact Manager for Energy, speaks to how our recent work has integrated with energy system planning to influence the energy transition.
