Climate Change Working Group
ATSE’s Climate Change Working Group supports ATSE’s priority to encourage climate change action by advising decision makers on technology led pathways toward a net zero future.
Climate change is causing rising global temperatures and more frequent and severe weather events.
These factors not only affect the environment but also many industries worldwide. To avoid the worst of climate change, strong action is required by policy-makers and industry, with major changes needed throughout our society.
ATSE’s Climate Change Working Group supports ATSE’s priority to encourage climate change action by advising decision makers on technology led pathways toward a net zero future. The Working Group comprises cross-disciplinary experts from mineral resources, climate change, oceans, agriculture, policy, fisheries, engineering, water and energy.
With strong leadership from government and active participation by industry, Australia is well placed to become a renewable technology superpower and a global exemplar in reducing emissions and adapting to extreme weather.
