This year’s summit will be held during the most active period for climate policy in Australian history. It also comes as IGCC rolls out its ‘Climate Action Pays Off’ national advertising campaign.
The Summit features the country’s most influential policymakers, institutional investors, and climate finance experts. High profile speakers include:
Hon. Chris Bowen MP – Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Australian Government
Hon. Matt Kean – Chair, Climate Change Authority
Independent MPs Zoe Daniel MP, Kate Chaney MP, and Dr Monique Ryan MP
Sonya Sawtell-Rickson – Chief Investment Officer, HESTA

The Summit will cover the impact of mandatory climate disclosures, net zero sector plans, managing growing climate impacts, and support for a strong, national 2035 emissions target, and more key topics that will shape the industry for the next decade at least.
Meanwhile, global developments have further intensified the urgency of climate action. This year’s IGCC Summit will take place just days after the U.S. presidential election, a highly consequential event for the global economy.
Against this backdrop of rapid change, the Summit – themed Mission 1.5° – will focus on how to remain steadfast in our mission to achieve a 1.5°C future. It’s where industry leaders will come together to make sense of a shifting world and strategise to stay on course.
IGCC’s CEO Rebecca Mikula-Wright says:
“This year’s Summit is shaping up to be our most important yet. With the pace of change in our industry moving so quickly, this event is essential for helping organisations navigate the evolving landscape”.
“Bringing together institutional investors, policymakers, and academics, the Summit is crucial for fostering collaboration and driving real change in the transition to a 1.5°C future. It’s unmissable for those looking to stay competitive by seizing opportunities from the transition and safeguarding beneficiary returns from climate risk.”
