OBITUARY

Chloe Munro died on 23/06/2021.

Chloe Munro AO FTSE was a leading authority on the Australian energy market and global emissions reductions.

Born in 1955, she received her Masters in Mathematics and Philosophy at Cambridge University in 1976 and an MBA at Westminster University in 1987.

She dedicated her career to public service and excelled in a series of challenging roles with leadership, good humour and determination.

The inaugural chair of the Clean Energy Regulator from 2012-2017, Ms Munro held roles at the National Water Commission, AquaSure; Hydro Tasmania; Victorian Government Department of Primary Industries and Department of National Resources and Environment.

In 2001 she was awarded a Centenary Medal for outstanding service to public administration.

Chloe Munro was elected to the ATSE Fellowship in 2012 and went on to become a respected contributor to the Energy Forum.

She received in Order of Australia in January 2018 for “distinguished service to public administration through leadership roles in the areas of renewable energy, water and climate change process and reform, and to the performing arts”.

The same year the Australian Financial Review listed her in its “100 Women of Influence”.

“She was a tireless contributor to our clean energy work and the author of our Emissions Explainer which is one of our most used documents,” ATSE President Professor Hugh Bradlow said.

“Chloe was generous to a fault with her deep knowledge and wisdom,” ATSE CEO Kylie Walker said.

“Her insights and advice provided clear and important guidance for our work to demystify emissions reduction targets and tracking, and to inform and educate leadership and the public around clean energy. She will be much missed.”

Chloe Munro died on 23 June 2021, aged 65, and is dearly missed by her family and friends.
