Ian Dunlop calls for an emergency, nation building response to climate change

This month’s quest speaker is Ian Dunlop.

Business is perceived as being resistant to policies to seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and nowhere more so than in the fossil fuel & emissions intensive industries.

Ian Dunlop is one of Australia's most prominent and respected business leaders. He has been a senior oil, gas and coal industry executive, chaired the Australian Coal Association, chaired the AGO Experts Group on Emissions Trading and was CEO of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. His writing on climate change and peak oil is widely published in the media and academic journals. He calls for an "emergency, nation building response plan to place the economy on a low carbon footing". When a previous head of the Australian Coal Association calls for a rapid transition to renewable energy, we should all listen.
