The Third Annual Climate-Related Risk & Disclosure Conference
The Public Sector Climate-Related Risk & Disclosure Conference
Governments face a critical and growing responsibility to embed climate risk into decision-making, driven by climate disclosure requirements for Commonwealth entities and the Australian Government’s commitment to achieve net zero in government operations by 2030. With Tranche 1 disclosures submitted under the Commonwealth Climate Disclosure, the focus shifts from compliance to strategic integration, while State and Local governments proactively advance their own frameworks – highlighting the need for coordinated action, shared learning and best practice.
The Public Sector Climate-Related Risk & Disclosure Summit unites Commonwealth, State, and Local Government leaders to translate disclosure into practice by embedding climate risk management into operations, strategy, and decision-making. Attendees in climate, finance, governance, and enterprise risk roles will gain clarity on obligations, build public sector capability, and acquire practical strategies to refine reporting, assure data, and define pathways to take climate action.
