Event: Climate Change & Business Policy Panel. How should Australia respond? 12 October 2021

This event brings together three experts in the field to develop policy recommendations capable of addressing this unsustainable situation. Recommendations arising from the panel will be sent to PM Scott Morrison prior to the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference.

Moderator: Dr Leanne Morrison
