The Climate Change Authority is pleased to announce we will be hosting two events at the COP26 international climate conference. . These events will be held at the Australian Pavilion in Glasgow and also livestreamed and made available on demand via our website and COP26 tour page.
Trade and investment trends in a decarbonising world
3 November 8:00-9:00pm AEDT (Syd/Melb/CBR); 9:00-10:00am GMT (Glasgow).
At this event, the Climate Change Authority will bring together a panel of experts to launch its latest report, Trade and investment trends in a decarbonising world , and present its insights into how Australia can respond to these trends: by viewing reducing emissions not as a cost, but as a source of competitive advantage.
As the world progresses towards net zero emissions, governments, investors and consumers will increasingly favour lower and zero emissions products. Decisions in one part of the world will reverberate along global supply chains, presenting challenges and opportunities for a country like Australia.
Join the Chair, Grant King, and Chief Executive Officer, Brad Archer, of the Climate Change Authority live along with keynote speakers Guy Debelle, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Jennifer Westacott AO, Chief Executive Officer of the Business Council of Australia, and Stephen Fitzgerald AO, Chairman and Founding Partner of Affirmative Investment Management, as they discuss what it will take for Australia to prosper in a decarbonising world.

Moderated by the Chair of the Climate Change Authority, Mr Grant King, the discussion will focus on how Australia and its Indo-Pacific partners could leverage existing partnerships and collaboration and build on established institutional arrangements to support the development and scaling of a transparent, high-integrity carbon market, or “bubble”, in the region.
