What do the IPCC’s warnings mean for Australia’s path to net-zero?

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report out this week has some very stark warnings about “unprecedented” levels of climate change that it says are “unequivocally” the result of human actions.

The IPCC says we’ll exceed global warming of 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius this century unless we make deep emissions cuts in the coming decades.

The Federal Government says Australia can get to net-zero emissions “preferably” by 2050 using technology, not taxes, through its technology roadmap.

One body the Government is relying on to get us there is the Clean Energy Finance Corporation or C-E-F-C. I spoke earlier with its chief executive Ian Learmonth.

But first, CEDA CEO Melinda Cilento is joined by our Chief Economist Jarrod Ball to discuss some of the issues we’re thinking about at CEDA this week.
