This month, we celebrate NAIDOC Week(Opens in a new tab/window) - recognising the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We acknowledge the importance of First Nations knowledge and stewardship of Country in building a more resilient and sustainable Australia.
Our CEO Kath Rowley recently attended London Climate Action Week, one of the world’s largest climate events focused on practical action to reduce emissions, build resilience and mobilise climate finance. Kath met with leaders from other independent climate councils(Opens in a new tab/window) to draw on their experiences, share lessons from Australia, and workshop opportunities and challenges in the transition to net zero. She returned with a renewed sense of perspective (did you know Ukraine has a Green Transition Office, planning a low carbon rebuild after the war?), challenge (London was in the grip of a record heatwave) and possibility (the coalition of not just the willing, but the doing, is growing every year).
Closer to home, Deputy CEO Eliza Murray spoke at the Pilbara Summit(Opens in a new tab/window), highlighting the Authority’s work on decarbonisation deals and economic opportunities in the net zero transition. The session explored how the Pilbara could leverage its natural advantages to support low-emissions industry and future prosperity.
We’re also excited to launch our new Stakeholder Engagement Strategy 2026-29. The strategy outlines how we will strengthen engagement so that our advice is informed by diverse perspectives, robust evidence and real-world experience – because better conversations lead to better climate policy.
