Panel Event: The Superpower Transformation

From COP26 in Glasgow, through catastrophic weather events, to damning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, climate has remained an unrelenting, urgent subject over the past year. Continuing research insights and the absence of effective climate policy paint a dire picture of what our climate future might be.

But there is also momentum for change. Our new federal government gives the opportunity for a new approach. Researchers continue to innovate and develop new ideas, and we have seen industry and local communities taking real action. We know that, with urgent and ambitious change, we can safeguard our world for ourselves and future generations.

The inaugural Climate Futures Summit is our opportunity to work together, share ideas and continue to make strides towards change. Melbourne Climate Futures will bring the breadth of University of Melbourne research together with voices from policy, industry, Indigenous people, and youth that make up our rich community.
