MSSI Panel and guests, Transitioning to a low carbon future
July 22, 2019
|
New research by The University of Melbourne – Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute and SGS Economics and Planning shows that transitioning to a clean economy is sound economic development. Even when the benefits of reduced emissions are ignored, the economic benefits of transitioning to a low-carbon economy easily outweigh the costs. So what’s next? How and why should we go low carbon?
Join us on Thursday 1 August for a presentation and panel discussion to discuss the findings from the recently released Australia’s Clean Economy Future: Costs and Benefits report and how businesses and governments can move to a low-carbon economy.
