Australia, climate change & the pandemic

With governments around the world still deep in the struggle against COVID 19, there has been little time for issues that dominated policy debates before the pandemic.

  • But is COVID-19 an opportunity to refocus attention on climate change, another grave global threat to humankind?
  • What does the climate change policy discussion in Australia look like in a COVID-19 world? Is an investment-led “green recovery”, especially in renewable energy, a way of spending Australia out of recession?
  • Or will the economic shock from the pandemic stall much-needed investment in decarbonization?
  • Is the pandemic also an opportunity to “build back better” to increase Australia’s resilience to climate effects?

Join us for a live panel discussion and Q&A with policy makers and business leaders to chart a way forward for Australia on climate action in a COVID19 world.
