CEDA Climate and Energy Forum

CEDA’s Climate and Energy Forum brought together national thought leaders, policy makers and champions of industry in Brisbane on the 19th May, discussing progress, accountability and the solutions to the greatest challenge and most lucrative opportunity of our time.

The 4.5-hour forum included keynote addresses, visiting international speakers and plenary sessions focussed on the opportunities for Queensland, and Australia, as the world moves toward a low carbon economy. Later in the day, specialist breakout sessions discussed topics including, the energy sector’s transition to NetZero; financing for improved outcomes; How clean and efficient transport systems will be created and decarbonising the built environment.
