2035 Climate Initiative


The 2035 Climate Initiative (formerly the Climate & Recovery Initiative) brings together leaders from government, business and civil society to identify the best ideas for aligning Australia’s economic recovery with a transition towards a net zero emissions economy, and to get them into the right hands.  Coordinated by the Centre for Policy Development (CPD) and Climateworks Centre, with a steering group that includes the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group), the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and Pollination, the Initiative was formed to identify the best ideas and opportunities for aligning Australia’s long-term economic future with climate and transition priorities.
