Location: Chandelier Room, Hawthorn Arts Centre, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn, VIC
In his annual update energy analyst and renewables expert Simon Holmes à Court will outline Australia's progress in transitioning to renewable energy and green exports, and will consider policy options for the year ahead. Reuben Finighan, Research Lead, Economic Pathways at the Superpower Institute, will outline the huge economic and climate benefits of ramping up our transition to clean manufacturing and green exports.
With our world-beating natural resources, Australia has the potential to provide climate leadership, seizing the extraordinary economic opportunities of the post–carbon world.
Simon Holmes à Court is a Director at the Superpower Institute. He is an energy analyst with many years of experience in the renewables sector with a talent for clearly sharing complex information and a clean tech investor.
