Beyond Zero Emissions’ Post

Introducing: Powering Western Australia’s Future Series 🌏 Western Australia is at a critical crossroads in its energy transition. To secure a smarter, more sustainable future, we’ve developed 10 key policy asks that will drive the state towards a greener, more prosperous future. Over the next 10 weeks, we’ll be sharing each of these policy recommendations, starting with Ask 1 this week. These recommendations are aimed at accelerating renewable energy, cutting emissions, creating new jobs, and ensuring WA remains at the forefront of the energy revolution. 🔋 Together, we can power WA's future. 🔋 Stay tuned each Wednesday as we dive into the steps WA can take to lead the charge.

The Climate Change Authority has released its Sector Pathways Review into the potential technology transition and emissions pathways for the Australian Government to reach #NetZero emissions by 2050. 🇦🇺 The Review has identified multiple pathways to achieving emissions reductions including with existing, mature technologies, such as #solar and #wind for #electricitygeneration and #batteries for #energystorage getting #Australia much of the way to net zero. ☀️ 💨 🔋 💡 Opportunities also exist with the rapid development of emerging low emissions technologies, such as #hydrogen and engineered carbon removals. Chair of the Climate Change Authority, The Hon. Matt Kean, says: "The Authority has charted a course for how Australia can #decarbonise by 2050." "Good progress is being made on decarbonising the energy sector and rolling out firmed renewables. But to achieve a rapid and orderly transition to net zero, all sectors of the economy, along with all levels of government, must plan and act together." “By overcoming the barriers to reducing emissions we can make the Australian economy more prosperous while creating new industries and jobs, improving our energy security, protecting the environment, and reducing the cost of living.” The Net Zero Economy Agency is working to ensure that the #regions, #workers and #communities most affected by Australia’s transition to a net zero emissions economy are empowered to anticipate and respond to the challenges and opportunities that this transformation will bring. We're working across government, engaging with local communities, First Nations communities and with industry to support the regions as we move through this change.

Today, we celebrate the ideals and goals set forth by the United Nations, particularly in our quest for a greener and more sustainable future. The UN emphasizes the urgent need for action on climate change, and the renewable energy sector plays a vital role in this mission. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources isn't just an environmental imperative; it also opens up new job opportunities and drives economic growth. As we reflect on the UN's commitment to sustainability, let’s remember that each of us can contribute to a cleaner planet. Whether it's advocating for renewable energy solutions, supporting policies that promote sustainability, or making eco-friendly choices in our daily lives, every action counts. #UnitedNationsDay #SustainableEnergy #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #UNGoals

Distinguished leaders globally, including Charlot Magayi, Sonia Dunlop, and Otto Canon, gathered at the iconic House of Lords in London for the Global Sustainability Summit. The summit, held on March 28th, 2024, focused on harnessing renewable energy for climate action, drawing insights from renowned experts in the field. Moderated by Prof Nicole Hakim, the panel session provided a platform for engaging discussions on the critical role of renewable energy in mitigating climate change and advancing global sustainability goals. Throughout the summit, participants expressed a shared commitment to accelerating the global transition to renewable energy as a key driver of climate action and sustainable development. The discussions underscored the urgency of collective action and collaboration across sectors and borders to address the existential threat of climate change. #climatechange #renewableenergy #greenenergy #sustainabilitysummit #OttoCanon #Advocacy

🌍 Responding to climate change is crucial for future of the next generation. Countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Costa Rica are leading the way with ambitious policies and innovative solutions. 🇩🇰 Denmark aims to be carbon-neutral by 2050, 🇸🇪 Sweden invests heavily in renewable energy, and 🇨🇷 Costa Rica plans to achieve zero emissions by 2050. Australia is not left out in the race to combat climate change. Australia has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and is making substantial investments in renewable energy, low-emission technologies, and hydrogen production. The Emissions Reduction Fund supports projects across various sectors to reduce greenhouse gases, while the Climate Solutions Package allocates $3.5 billion for diverse climate initiatives. Additionally, Australia is enhancing climate resilience by focusing on adaptation strategies for communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Let’s take inspiration from these nations and commit to sustainable practices in our own lives and businesses. 🌱 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ZeroEmissions #GlobalChange #GreenFuture
