Beyond Fossil Fuels Tour - Creating Jobs - Nurturing Communities ...

Increasingly, Australians know that we need to move beyond our fossil fuel addiction but, importantly, they want to know how we make this shift. What does the transition to a low carbon economy look like and what does it mean for our communities, jobs and economy? How might the burdens of such a shift be managed, and how might the opportunities for creating truly better ways of meeting our needs be embraced? There’s no doubt that these are difficult questions. They are questions that will take all of us to answer. Yet as the rest of the world grapples with them, Australia’s political leaders are working hard to avoid these questions at all cost -- and that's why it’s time for us to ask them louder than ever. In that vein, we are excited to announce that, next month, we are hosting a national speaking tour with renowned US economist Bob Massie -- one of the world’s foremost experts on building a just transition to a low carbon economy. Register to attend your nearest talk today From Sydney, Perth, Canberra and Melbourne to Newcastle, Queensland and the La Trobe Valley, Bob will join with local and national experts to talk about one of the biggest issues of our time: the need to build a just transition away from fossil fuels.
