Net Zero Economy - Webinar

In September, the Federal Government released a number of key climate reports, including Australia’s Nationally Determined Actions to the UNFCCC, announcing Australia’s National Climate Targets and our Net Zero Plan. In addition, they released Australia’s first National Climate Risk Assessment Report and National Adaptation Plan. 

In this short 30 minute webinar, ICN National Climate Director Dr Vanessa Rauland will give a brief summary of the findings from these reports, and what SME’s should start to think about in terms of addressing their own climate risks and preparing themselves for the future.
