An independent, member-based institute accelerating the transition to net zero emissions

Support for a First Nations Voice to Parliament

As an independent, member-based institute accelerating the transition to net-zero emissions, a central component of the CMI mission is to champion best practice in an inclusive transition that delivers social, economic, and environmental benefits to communities. CMI supports and respects the internationally proclaimed human rights of First Nations Australians as enshrined in numerous international commitments. Accordingly, we are proud to formally support the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament as a way of respecting the right to self-determination underpinned in these universal commitments and as a fundamental step in our country’s reconciliation journey.

AER Summit

CMI’s annual Australasian Emissions Reduction (AER) Summit is Australia’s premier climate and business event.

For a decade, the summit has been an important forum for discussion on climate and regional realities and the investment required for a ‘just’ and inclusive transition to a net zero economy. The CMI team independently develops the Summit program with the aim of driving ambition, knowledge exchange, commercial interaction, capacity-building and peer-to-peer networking. Our 10th Summit was held on Gadigal Land in Sydney, across September 14 & 15 2023, and explored the theme Reform, Repair and Race for 1.5°C. Over 700 industry and government representatives attended in person.
