Ross Garnaut in conversation with Frank Jotzo and Ligang Song

Ross Garnaut will be in conversation with Frank Jotzo and Ligang Song on The Superpower Transformation: Building Australia's Zero-Carbon Future, which documents how Australia can become a leader in a world of zero net emissions.

In his previous bestselling book, Superpower, Ross Garnaut showed that Australia - rich in resources for renewable energy and for capturing carbon in the landscape - could become an economic superpower of the post-carbon world. Now, in The Superpower Transformation, Garnaut turns that idea into a practical up-to-date plan to reshape our nation.

The Superpower Transformation brings together a collection of essays from leading experts, Mike Sandiford, Ligang Song, Frank Jotzo, Isabelle Grant, Susannah Powell and Malte Meinshausen, as well as a major essay from Garnaut, who has edited the book. It outlines the future decarbonisation of Australia including: net zero opportunity for Australian minerals; the decarbonisation of electricity; green hydrogen and its role in transforming our export industries; decarbonising China's steel industry; land carbon and agriculture and the Renaissance of rural and regional Australia.

Over the past nine years, Australia has consistently acted against its national interest. The Superpower Transformation shows how to change that, so that the nation becomes a confident leader of progress towards zero net emissions.
