UNSW hosts leadership forum on energy transition
UNSW is hosting the Leadership Forum on Energy Transition for Australia — an initiative of the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) that brings together leaders from business, academia and the community to develop a clean energy blueprint for the nation.
The forum brings together an influential grouping of 17 prominent Australians who recognise the significant dangers and disruptions to Australia that are already occurring and that will worsen as the globe continues to warm. Without a national plan to transition from emissions-intensive energy to clean energy, forum members fear the nation’s contribution to international greenhouse pollution will continue to rise.
At the inaugural meeting of the forum, members committed to producing a roadmap for a rapid transition to clean energy. The forum aims to develop a blueprint for energy transition that is in the best interests of the Australian community, economy and environment.
To assist the next Australian Government in leading the energy transition, the forum will produce the blueprint within 100 days of the upcoming federal election. It will proceed to offer this evidence-based plan for transition to political decision-makers.
