Beyond Zero Emissions

​

Beyond Zero Emissions develops plans that the government can adapt to advance new clean industries, decarbonise domestic and export emissions, and leverage promising economic opportunities. Beyond Zero Emissions’ policy expertise can contribute to substantive policy changes and industry actions to significantly reduce carbon emissions in Australia and globally.

Beyond Zero Emissions’ ambitious plan for accelerating the development of green industry in Australia would impact Australia’s climate output and reduce hard-to-decarbonise industrial emissions worldwide.

The Superpower Institute

​

The Superpower Institute aims to help Australia seize the extraordinary economic opportunities of the post-carbon world while allowing Australia to become a major player in climate globally. 

The Superpower Institute has an ambitious plan for accelerating Australia’s development into a major exporter of renewable energy and green industrial products. In addition to mitigating domestic emissions, which make up approximately 1% of global emissions, The Superpower Institute’s approach may also provide Australia with an opportunity to decarbonise up to 7% of global carbon emissions. If successful, this approach would deliver significant economic benefits coupled with having high-scale impact on reducing climate impacts - having significantly higher levels of impact on climate change than could be achieved under any domestic strategy.

The Next Economy

The Next Economy's evidence-based theory of change and history of success are complemented by expansive community engagement work. Their unique insights are rooted in on-the-ground consultations, and provide policymakers with a meaningful lens through which to view climate change and then to act.

​

The Next Economy works across all economic sectors to accelerate Australia’s transition to a climate-centered, economically sound economy. The Next Economy works with all stakeholders to tackle some of the hardest issues facing the country as Australia moves towards net zero, including the decarbonisation of the land sector and the sustainable and fair development of heavy industries key to Australia’s export future like green manufacturing and critical minerals development. The Next Economy’s ability to leverage what it is learning on the ground to influence new policies sets it apart from many other organisations.
