Australia has the ingredients we need to future-proof our economy and power our homes for generations to come. It’s great to see this work from our partners at Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) come to life, highlighting the opportunities for real people in real communities from the climate transition. Hear more below 👇 #ClimateActionPaysOff #CleanEnergy #SustainableFinance #Sustainability #Climate
📣 Today we've launched Climate Action Pays Off. 📣 It's a campaign to showcase how Australia is reaping the benefits of the shift to a clean economy. Right across the nation new Australian businesses are popping up helping us make the shift to a clean economy. This campaign tells those stories. It also calls on the Australian Parliament to set a strong 2035 climate target so investors have the policy certainty to scale up support for clean businesses, industries and technologies. Check it out at https://lnkd.in/g-4a5e8F and keep an eye out for more stories here over the next few days and weeks.
