There is an increasing urgency to the climate transition that is creating immense risks and opportunities for the Australian economy and financial markets. This event will explore Australia’s rise as a renewable energy superpower and the role of financial markets in the race to net zero through topics including:
- Upfront cost of the transition vs long-run benefits
- Macroeconomic implications - growth, inflation, productivity - of unchecked emissions
- How capital will respond to Australia's very large Scope 3 emissions from fossil fuel exports in combination with policies such as the US Inflation Reduction Act
- The call on investors to get to net zero and the impediments they may face
- Viability and frameworks for offset markets
- Risks and opportunities for financial markets including dislocations, regulatory issues.
