Australian climate policies and opportunities

For the third time, Climateworks has analysed Australia’s state and territory governments’ climate policies and programs. Have a sneak peek at our forthcoming report as we highlight noteworthy subnational climate initiatives and identify key opportunities for further action. [Update 12/12/2024: Read the report, https://www.climateworkscentre.org/re... ] Using Climateworks’ most recent decarbonisation scenarios, our experts present our latest assessment of how state and territory efforts track against the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Every Australian state and territory is committed to net zero emissions by 2050, as is the federal government – a strong foundation for further action. There are several policy opportunities that would help governments close the gap between current and Paris-aligned emissions reductions. Still, more needs to be done if Australia is to contribute its fair share in the global effort to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Join climate policy experts Kylie Turner, Matt Lyon and Lani Perlesz and hear how deeper collaboration and putting climate at the heart of decision-making can set Australia up to prosper in a net zero emissions future. 00:00 Welcome 00:28 Acknowledgement of Country 01:08 Intro 02:41 Matt Lyon 10:46 Lani Perlesz 22:08 Q&A Mentioned resources: Leading climate policies from Australia's states and territories https://www.climateworkscentre.org/re...
