In partnership with the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University (ANU) we are convening a unique one-day Summit located in the heart of Parliament House to kick off acceleration of climate action in Australia. High-profile experts from academia, business, civil society, state and local governments will guide us on the state of climate Context, Action, Ambition and the Transition .
