We need to decarbonise our economy and we need to do it fast. This means switching power in our homes, workplaces, and personal transport to renewable energy. What are challenges to adapting to imperatives of climate change and what are the hard realities? Are there ways to transition fast without jeopardising fairness and equity?

Join us for our biggest event of the year for a convivial and thought provoking evening with Professor Bruce Mountain.

Professor Mountain is a well-known Australian energy economist and Director of the Victoria Energy Policy Centre. Challenges that arise from the transition to renewable electricity have drawn his focus for most of the last two decades. He is interested in economics, policy and institutions in the tradition of political economy.

Note: our dinner this year is at a wonderful new venue, the Main Dining Room in University House, University of Melbourne.  This is because our usual venue, William Angliss, was unable to host our event this year.
