An excellent appointment!

The death of Prof Will Steffen is an immense loss to our sector, nationally and globally. I send love to all those mourning him. His work lives on in ours and others'.

I’m looking forward to working with this expert panel to help shape the revived SEC's role in Victoria’s transition to renewable energy, in a state with an ambitious net zero pathway afr.com/policy/energy-…

Big day for our energytransitionsinitiative.org: new 1.5C-aligned #netzero industry pathways launched by Minister - thanks to all in the 3yrs work & to Tennant Reed for easy-to-read event thread below!

Excellent summary of IPCC AR6 2023 by two eminent Australians involved: 'The world is up the proverbial creek - but we still have a paddle' 'current total investments in low-emissions technology & systems is 3-6x lower than what would be needed to keep temp's to 1.5℃ or 2℃'

Beautiful and powerful indeed. I'm privileged to be at the Chief Executive Women annual dinner. Thank you to Deborah Cheetham for the music and to those who supported me to be here

This is significant, given the scale of the companies involved in Australia's mining & heavy industry calling for 1.5C-aligned action & sharing how it can be done (see my LinkedIn post for more details). Thank you Tennant Reed for your active involvement

Biden EPA proposes tough vehicle emissions standards. Lots of interest here: - finalized next year, starts with model year 2027 - expected to result in 67% all-electric new cars by 2032 - also 25% of heavy trucks! - US biz cautious, not opposed, so far nytimes.com/2023/04/12/cli…

This is huge: Yesterday the German government confirmed plans to no longer allow stand-alone fossil fuel heating systems to be installed from 01 January 2024. That’s in all buildings and will come into force in just 8 months. ft.com/content/fbb800…

Thank you Tennant Reed! Climateworks Centre has won many awards yet one from such sector expert cred as you is most special! A real sweetener on the real prize of good advice being adopted in a legislated whole-economy target of 75-80% by 2035 :)

Vale Ariel Liebman. He was a good friend to many, and a force for good on energy research and better ways forward for Australia's energy sector. He will be missed immensely.

Yes, this headline is what the evidence says: Australia must slash emissions by 68 pct by 2030, quit coal five years later to meet 1.5°C target reneweconomy.com.au/australia-must…

Great to have Assistant Minister Senator Jenny McAllister launch our new evidence on how best to upgrade energy performance of Australia's homes (which shows over $1000 annual bill savings for every home type!) Thanks to our philanthropy funders for making this work possible
