Session 1: Are you ready for Net Zero?
APS Net Zero 2030 is the Government’s Policy for the Australian Public Service (APS) to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2030, and transparently report on its emissions from mid-2023 onwards. The policy is being finalised by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water, so it’s consistent with Australia’s international commitments and will contribute to achievement of Australia’s Paris Agreement targets.
However, what does this really mean for Government? How can the targets within this policy be achieved? What could all Government entities be doing now to prepare? What impacts will this have operationally? And ultimately, how do we think Net Zero can be achieved?
These questions and more will be discussed and addressed by Emma Wright, Venita’s Sustainability Director.
