Assessment
We will measure national progress to help ensure Australia meets its goals on climate change.
Latest news
Australia’s 20 largest banks are taking steps to reduce emissions from their investment and lending portfolios, but their actions are ad hoc and not yet fully aligned to the net zero goal of the Paris Climate Agreement, according to the latest Net Zero Momentum Tracker report.
In October 2019 ClimateWorks published the Natural Capital Roadmap, presenting the ideas of over 300 leaders in farming, forestry, natural resource management, conservation, finance, policy, research and government on how to progress the natural capital agenda in Australia.
Our international team is engaged in low carbon discussions across the region as part of our growing program.
