Climate change poses one of the biggest threats to nature. The Paris accord states that to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and prevent catastrophic climate events and mass extinction we must reduce emissions by 43% by 2030.
A fast rollout of renewable energy developments across NSW is a crucial step in reducing our emissions and also achieving the state’s target of net-zero by 2050. However, as environmentalists we know that a fast rollout of developments can be a risk for nature, threatening to harm species and their homes.
So how can we ensure nature is protected in the renewable energy rollout? Can NSW be a leader in nature positive renewable developments? What role can we play as environmental and conservation groups?
Join Nature Conservation Council of NSW’s upcoming webinar where we will explore these issue and questions, hear from experts in the field, and discuss what needs to change in NSW to see a renewable energy transition that is good for climate and good for nature.
When: Wednesday 28 August, 6:30-7:30pm
Where: Online (Zoom). RSVP for the Zoom link.
