9th Australasian Emissions Reduction Summit 2022 | Urgency, Integrity, Action | October 2022

ICC Sydney & Virtual October 2022

For nearly a decade, the annual Emissions Reduction Summit has been an important forum for discussion on climate and regional realities, as well as the investment required for a just and inclusive transition to a net zero economy.

It has been a key platform for CMI’s mission to help business manage risks and capitalise on opportunities in the transition.

Our hybrid, in-person and virtual Summit attracts over 1200 delegates and more than 100 speakers. The Summit brings together all market participants, a broad spectrum of national and international business leaders and professionals, as well as leaders from all levels of Australian government.

Footage from the December 2021 Summit held at the International Convention Centre, Sydney, Australia.

Limited options for sponsorship of the 2022 AER Summit are still available. Find out more in the Summit Prospectus.

STAYING AT PACE WITH RAPIDLY EVOLVING CARBON MARKETS

Compliance, voluntary and sectoral carbon markets are strengthening and evolving quickly. Although the Paris Article 6 markets rules are now finalised, we are only now able to grapple with the question of how to implement these markets with integrity, transparency and accountability - and deliver on a range of other significant environmental, social and economic goals. Our 2022 program will help you navigate today’s ever-changing carbon landscape, and prepare you for more strategic and sophisticated engagement in the increasingly complex environmental markets of tomorrow.

RATCHETING UP PARIS AMBITION: THE PUBLIC & PRIVATE POLICY AGENDA

With the Paris Rulebook finalised, and the impacts of climate change now clearly articulated by the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, it's clear that the world must urgently increase its climate ambition if we are to get back on track to keep global temperature rises to below 2 degrees and towards 1.5 degrees. With Australia now catching up to global and corporate ambition, the Summit will explore the long-term policy signals required to incentivise, strengthen, and de-risk stronger public and private-sector climate action.

INTERNATIONAL

REINVIGORATION AUSTRALIA'S REGIONAL CLIMATE LEADERSHIP

Australia’s policy suite is set to evolve and once again support the proliferation of low-carbon aid, trade and diplomatic relationships across the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. The Summit will analyze the impact of increasingly ambitious Paris commitments on our major markets, how low-carbon partnerships can benefit business and investors, and what changing global market dynamics mean for the competitiveness of Australian goods and services in the region and further abroad.

REGIONAL

ACCELERATING AUSTRALIA'S DECARBONISATION

Driven by increasing civil society, fiduciary responsibilities, investor and regulatory pressures - and surprising election results - the climate tides seem to be turning for Australia. With a raft of industrial, economic and environmental policies set to evolve, the task of stabilising Australia's economic decarbonisation trajectory this decade is within reach. Join us at the Summit to take part in critical discussions of the policy, regulatory, scientific, technological and financial required to drive our net-zero ambitions.

POLICY

SCALING HIGH-INTEGRITY NATURE-BASED CLIMATE SOLUTIONS

Climate mitigation, repair and adaptation needs nature, and the world is moving quickly to appropriately value and invest in the carbon and co-benefits of nature-based solutions. We must refocus on improving the integrity and additionality of these critical activities to ensure they are driving real and meaningful emissions reductions. Our 2022 program will examine real environmental market opportunities, as well as set the grand vision for Australia to become the global epicentre for investment in, and deployment of nature based solutions.

NATURE

CATALYSING/MOBILISING CLIMATE FINANCE & INVESTMENT

Implementing zero-carbon mitigation technologies, and solutions that help us adapt to locked in changes requires finance - and a clear understanding of what climate-related returns look like. Join our finance sector discussions at the Summit, to get a handle on the emerging financial challenges, solutions, risk/return models, products and taxonomies needed to facilitate the transition underway.
