Join senior executives from across industries, government and regulators at CEDA’s third annual Climate and Energy Summit.  
We'll address the biggest energy transition and climate challenges, and the opportunities to best position Australia in a lower carbon future.

Australia’s renewable energy transition is progressing but there’s still much to do to realise our Net Zero ambitions and meet timelines. Now is a crucial time to address policy gaps, advance renewable energy solutions, adopt impactful climate abatement and mitigation strategies, and move development of new future-facing industries forward. 

CEDA's 2025 Climate and Energy Summit will bring together thought leaders who can help navigate the complex pathway to net zero, drive measurable climate and energy outcomes, and position ourselves in a globally competitive low-carbon world.
