About this Event
Net zero targets have been set but what will it really take to achieve them?
Join us for our first Engineering the Future event of 2024, which will mark the launch of the UNSW Institute for Industrial Decarbonisation. This networking event brings together industry and government innovators, and leading researchers and educators across technological, business, and policy disciplines.
The transition to a global low carbon economy can be viewed as an historic step change. Fossil resource use is structurally embedded in global industrial systems - in the products and services we use every day of our lives: in the millions of plastic items, the cement and steel in our homes and cities, in the fabric of water, waste, transport and energy infrastructure, in our smart devices, in the synthetic fertiliser used to feed a global population heading for eight billion.
Navigating the complexity of investment, clean technology integration and supply chain linkage demands new thinking and deep commitment from every sector and professional discipline.
Australia is in a unique position to demonstrate global leadership at this turning point for industry and society.
