Forum success at 'Meeting Australia’s Climate Change Targets: Price, Opportunity and Pathways'
The Environment Institute and the Centre for Energy Technology was excited to host a joint forum 'Meeting Australia’s Climate Change Targets: Price, Opportunity and Pathways’ on the 29th of April 2019. The forum brought together scientific experts who presented their perspectives of different options to meet our emissions targets by 2050 and answered key questions about policy, technology and pathways.
