The Race to Net Zero

Simon takes us back as a reminder of how far we've come in a short time - he shares the new context we find ourselves in and the Climate 200 approach and recipe for success. The strategy - strike at the root. First issue we need to clear before we address progress on any issue is our democracy. To protect this new context we find ourselves in we need to invest in maintaining the health of our democracy.

For too long Australia’s politics have been focused on power not purpose.
