This year parties to the Paris Agreement are submitting stronger 2035 emission reduction targets amidst increasingly challenging political, economic and social circumstances. While US leadership has diminished, momentum continues to build in Europe, South America and across the Asia-Pacific region.  It is also a time of exciting innovation in technology, sustainability, policy and disclosure. Join our opening Summit plenary for opening perspectives on international and investment next steps for net zero.

Join corporate leaders to discuss challenges in the corporate transition to net zero emissions. This panel discussion will provide insights into achievements, challenges, and opportunities in developing credible business strategies in a world of some policy uncertainty but accelerating expectation, oversight and urgency.

In the style of Australia’s weekly ABC discussion program, Australian political, business and community leaders will discuss the climate crisis, the role of carbon markets in the net zero challenge, and the long-term national policy framework we need to scale up decarbonisation investment to meet Australia’s fair share of global climate action.

This session will take stock of discussions from the Summit and profile the steps required for net zero-aligned 2035 corporate and country plans. Join our experts as they reflect on the international cooperation that can accelerate decarbonisation and other climate and nature positive solutions, and the opportunities for both policy and investment.
