Submission: Investor Front Door, Future Made in Australia

Submission | Bethany Richards | 4 October 2024

Submission: Energy and Electricity Sector Plan to shape clean economy

Submission | Bethany Richards | 24 April 2024

IGCC has long advocated for detailed sector by sector decarbonisation plans to support a least cost transition to net zero emissions. IGCC understands that these Sector Plans come at a time where a new 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) will be set under the Paris Agreement. IGCC encourages the Government to set a 1.5 degree-aligned 2035 NDC to anchor the Sector Plans, providing an orderly pathway to achieve its Net Zero by 2050 Plan.
