Why Climate Risk Equals Energy Risk: Insights from Australia’s National Climate Risk Assessment
Australia’s first National Climate Risk Assessment doesn’t just describe hotter days or bigger storms. It maps how climate change will strain the infrastructure networks that keep the country running – energy, transport, supply chains, telecommunications, water, and housing. By 2050, the climate risk to this system will climb from low–moderate today to high–very high, with […]
Turning Climate Targets into Business Strategy
Australia’s 2035 climate target is almost here. Under the Paris Agreement, countries must set new emissions reduction goals every decade, and the federal government has committed to announcing Australia’s target by mid-September 2025. Australia’s 2030 target, a 43% reduction on 2005 levels, was legislated in 2022. The new 2035 climate target is expected to land […]

But there’s a growing disconnect: while climate policy pushes for rapid decarbonisation, real-world energy demand is accelerating in the opposite direction. This is the tension […]
