National Oration: Getting serious about getting to zero
Dr Alan Finkel AC FAA FTSE, a past President of ATSE, past Chief Scientist and a global authority on low-emissions technology, will present a national oration to discuss policies, scale and pace of technology deployment needed to meaningfully reduce atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases – while continuing to provide the energy, products and agricultural crops demanded by our modern lifestyle.
As the Australian Government seeks to legislate more ambitious emissions reductions targets and positions itself as a “renewable energy powerhouse”, join Dr Finkel to hear some thoughts on the role for ATSE in the national debate.
This event is free and open to all.
