The Better Futures Forum is Australia’s largest multi-sectoral forum on climate. It will bring together community voices, sector innovators and policymakers from across Australia and across sectors and serve as an important multi-sectoral platform during a Parliamentary sitting week in Canberra. Throughout the conference we will highlight climate projects and individual champions that serve as examples of ways to lower emissions and progress Australia’s leadership on climate.
Our goals for the Forum are to:
- Unite sector and community leaders with government representatives, and spotlight successful climate and clean energy projects
- Catalyse advancements in Australia’s climate policies and targets by bringing together diverse leaders during a key Parliamentary week
- Align stakeholders on climate initiatives, and accelerate action towards a climate-resilient future for Australia
