7th Australasian Emissions Reduction Summit 2020 | Accelerating to zero. 2-4 Dec 2020

2 – 4 December 2020 | Virtual Event via Hopin

Despite the COVID crisis, 2020 has been a year of unexpected growth and focus on climate action, as countries grapple with the concept of a green economic recovery. The Paris Agreement is moving into operation and the decade ahead will be the most critical yet. The innovation and behaviour shifts we're experiencing under Paris and the pandemic, bode well for a stronger and more ambitious response to the intensifying climate crisis. Australia, our regional allies, and the global economy must look towards a #netzero2050 future.

WELCOME TO THE 2020 VIRTUAL SUMMIT

Despite the COVID crisis, 2020 has been a year of unexpected growth and focus on climate action, as countries grapple with the concept of a green economic recovery, even as the Paris Agreement begins operation and the global community moves inexorably towards net-zero.

Under Paris and the pandemic, we are entering a new era of economic and social cooperation to tackle multiple economic, environmental and social crises. The innovation and behavioural shifts bode well for a longer-term response to the intensifying climate crisis, and many in the Australian business community as well as governments in our states and neighbouring nations are targeting net-zero emissions by 2050, seeking to manage the risks and catalyse opportunities in that transition. A variety of carbon markets are emerging globally hopefully to be boosted by progress on a rulebook for the Paris Agreement’s “Article 6” carbon market provisions at COP25.

Hosted by the Carbon Market Institute, the 2020 virtual Summit will be a high profile platform to connect with customers, business peers and opinion makers; establish a presence in emerging national and international markets; and be at the forefront of this must-attend event’s knowledge exchange, commercial interaction and capacity building program.

Australia's Climate Policy
& green COVID Recovery

As we move from one horrific bushfire season to another, we must also grapple with driving a green COVID recovery. Long-term climate policies that drive emissions reductions and economic growth will be critical for Australia in the coming months. We'll discuss our national trajectory, and the inevitable policy response required to meet the these current dual crises.

Technology, Innovation
& Disruption

Engage with the climate solutions and emerging step-change technologies required to effect rapid decarbonisation of the economy. In the context of the Government's Technology Roadmap and growing private sector leadership, we'll cover energy, industrial, nature-based and agricultural tech - as well as the digital and data infrastructure crucial for adoption at scale.

Litigation, Liability
& Rebellion

Communities, consumers, investors, protesters and children are demanding real action and accountability from those in power. Attendees will explore these serious social and legal implications for business, and ultimately how to play a meaningful role in the economic transition to a zero-carbon future.

From Disclosure
to Action

Climate change is already impacting Australia, and the physical, economic, and financial risks to business, assets, operations and livelihoods are mounting fast. The 2020 Summit will explore best practice disclosure and management of climate risk, and the increasingly critical role of the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) framework.
