The Australian Parliament is currently engaged in finalising and passing a key element of its climate policy, the Safeguard Mechanism.
Polly Hemming, Director of the Climate and Energy Program at the Australia Institute is keynote speaker at this forum which will delve into the Safeguard Mechanism, climate integrity, carbon credits and whether this policy can be effective when it comes to the critical work of reducing emissions.
Local federal MPs Josh Burns, Zoe Daniel (tbc) and Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah have been engaged to each give an address. There will be a Q & A with all participants following presentations.
The evening will be video recorded, with a link supplied after the event.
