Rebecca Mikula-Wright and Philip Bateman | Climate action: The economics are on our side

Philip Bateman Season 3 Episode 24

Climate action is already paying off, and can pay off even more, so how do we juggle our maelstrom of democracy in shifting geopolitics, powerful leaders stepping back from a climate agenda and the golden opportunity of our global net zero transition?

Join Rebecca Mikula-Wright and I from the recent Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) summit, as we discuss what you need to do as a leader in your organisation to make this happen, what you may get caught out on, and how by aligning industry tipping points to maximise the speed of our climate transition, we can create cascading exponential impact.

Many Australians don't realise that the country already generates 40% of its energy from renewables (and it spiked to 75% recently), and they don't know how quickly the nation has been moving and the policies implemented to support it.

One things is clear - getting on with things on voluntarily is not fast enough, the investment industry is calling for regulation to enable them to close the gap between the science and the achievable impact.
