About the event

In the second half of 2025, we saw three key documents released by the Australian Government - the long-awaited National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA), the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the updated Net Zero Plan (NZP) – reflecting the new Australian interim emissions reduction target of 62-70% below 2005 levels by 2035. For this webinar we will provide an overview of each document before a short panel session to discuss how they come together to paint a picture for Australia’s response to climate change and a look towards our future.
