Ross Garnaut on the opportunity to secure Australia's prosperity in a zero-carbon future in 'The Superpower Transformation'


Listen Later

In The Superpower Transformation Emeritus Professor Ross Garnaut charts the course for Australia to become a leader in a world of zero-carbon emissions. He outlines new evidence that stronger and earlier action on climate change would be good for jobs and incomes and particularly in regional and rural Australia. Garnaut shows how Australia can meet its obligations set at the Paris and Glasgow climate conferences – and the costs for not doing so.

With contributions from Mike Sandford, Ligang Song, Frank Jotzo, Isabelle Grant, Susannah Powell and Maite Meinshausen, The Superpower Transformation covers electricity, renewable energy, hydrogen, steel production and rare earth minerals, exports, carbon-capture in the landscape and reveals how much Australia has to gain by making the most of the opportunities that are available to us right now. 

In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Emeritus Professor Ross Garnaut about why it's in Australia's interest to take a leadership role in the transformation to a zero-carbon future, how green hydrogen is already a reality and why using our wealth of renewable energy resources to produce green hydrogen will transform Australia's economy and ensure our national prosperity into the future.
