The 2010 conference will focus on how business is moving forward on climate change response in a time of policy uncertainty. Attendees will hear from key emitting sectors (stationary energy, buildings, transport, industry, forestry & agriculture) on how they can reduce emissions by 20 -25% by 2020. Policy makers will be asked to respond to the calls from these sectors for policy settings to give business the means to implement these changes.
Underlining this theme is the importance of energy efficiency and the question of how to properly manage and leverage the public and private sector funding required to seed cleantech projects. Expert speakers will also explore adaptation measures, emerging as a priority response to inevitable and possibly extreme climate change, given the absence of effective global action.
The program will take a careful look at the international framework, how those policies are likely to evolve and how they could impact Australian and New Zealand businesses. We will examine the relative success of complementary measures globally and assess what could be replicated in our part of the world. There are also some very practical lessons to learn from, including New Zealand’s implementation of an ETS, energy efficiency best practice, the growing role of land use and summary findings from a full year of NGER reporting. |
