The 2nd Public Sector Climate Related Risk & Disclosure Summit

Building capability to better evaluate, report on & prioritise climate risk

Levels of government across Australia are taking action to manage climate risks, reduce their emissions and transparently report on their climate actions.

The Australian Government has committed to achieving NetZero in government operations by 2030 and is introducing mandatory climate disclosure requirements for its entities. With state and local governments proactively evolving their own frameworks, now is the critical time to take action.

The 2nd Public Sector Climate-Related Risk and Disclosure Summit will uniquely bring together key stakeholders and climate leaders from across government and disciplines to share their insights into climate risk assessment, management and disclosure. This summit will explore the key role of leadership, good governance and developing public sector capability to effectively manage climate risk and clearly define actions to meet Net Zero targets.
