Episode notes
Targets Are A Starting Point
- ClimateWorks believes Australia's 2035 target of 70% is achievable and often targets are overachieved.
- The crucial work now is implementing sector plans and policies to deliver the outcomes.
Energy And Industry Move Together
- Energy and industrial decarbonisation must proceed together because industry can underwrite renewables rollout.
- Optimising buildings and shifting energy use into daytime supports the grid and emissions reductions.
Tailor Efficiency Policies By Sector
- Design tailored energy efficiency policy packages for each sector addressing supply chains and skills.
- Use training, procurement support and consumer awareness to normalise net zero practices.
