Adopting Paris-aligned climate plan would create billions of dollars in fresh Australian investment opportunities | IGCC

IGCC Chief Executive Officer, Emma Herd, said Australia could not afford to ignore the investment opportunities identified under an orderly transition. “Investors, companies and governments will need to work together to create a trajectory to achieve a resilient net zero emissions economy by 2050, including deeper emission reductions over this decade. “

“If we get this right, Australia could reap the benefits of $63 billion in fresh private investment over the next five years, and over $1 trillion by mid-century, in domestic opportunities alone. If we continue as we are, we’ll leave billions of dollars in investment opportunities behind.”
