From net-zero pledges to "sustainable" developments, cities are making big claims—but are they delivering? This session unpacks the gap between policy and impact in city planning and management. Through expert insights and real-world examples, we'll explore how governance, infrastructure, and finance can align for real climate action. Because when it comes to sustainability, All Bits Count—and it's time to make every policy and project truly matter.

We need to roll out solar, wind, batteries and transmission more widely across NSW - but how can we do this sensitively, respecting nature and the communities that are closest? Eve Altman, Clean Energy Campaigner for the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, has been talking with those on the frontlines about how to do it right. Climate in the Pub is a series of talks by excellent speakers in a welcoming social setting. Join us from 6.30 for a 7pm start.

The workshop will cover the key metrics required for the reporting, the value of a Gap Analysis to assess current alignment and peer review, key GHG emissions reporting errors and how these can be overcome, climate scenario analysis for transition risk and physical risk, and net zero target setting. The workshop will outline practical steps corporates can take and S&P Global tools and solutions to assist in your journey. Finally, we will consider how climate reporting can provide insights to drive positive business outcomes beyond just a compliance exercise. Agenda: Registration: 3pm Workshop start: 3:30pm Workshop end: 5:00pm

The future of climate leadership goes beyond carbon reduction. This session explores why protecting nature is vital for long-term business resilience and climate goals. Discover the intersection of nature and climate, with pathways to a nature-positive approach through practical frameworks. We’ll cover TNFD, SBTN, and Accounting for Nature, showing how integrating nature into corporate strategy can mitigate risks, engage stakeholders, and unlock opportunities.

The Government of Australia attempted to reform environmental legislation, and this included the establishment of a nature repair market. While the nascent market is not without limitations, critical space was created for an important conversation about nature, how we value it, and ultimately, our relationship with it. If we risk losing the momentum created in the burgeoning Nature Positive agenda, how can we leverage and extend it? What would a ‘good’ nature market look like? What are the barriers that would have to be lifted? And what can each of us do to bring a nature positive future closer? This event will explore those questions and more. We have put together a great panel with policy experts, indigenous groups and NGOs. The discussion will be facilitated by Amanda Keogh.
