Superpower: Australia’s Low-Carbon Opportunity (Ross Garnaut Book Launch)
The fog of Australian politics on climate change has obscured a fateful reality: Australia has the potential to be an economic superpower of the future post-carbon world - Ross Garnaut
In his new book Superpower, Ross Garnaut argues that with Australia’s unparalleled renewable energy resources and excellent scientific skills, we could be the natural home for an increasing proportion of global industry.
Please join Ross Garnaut at The University of Melbourne, along with energy market experts Audrey Zibelman (CEO Australian Energy Market Operator) and Rod Sims (Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) to discuss the road map for Australia’s energy and climate transition as outlined in Superpower. Covering energy, transport, agriculture, the international trends and more.
