Three years of build-up for a national emission trading scheme has collapsed. Global climate negotiations are in disarray. And now it’s an election year for Australia.

Where business had hoped for carbon certainty, it now faces prolonged policy confusion and frustration … all hopes of a bipartisan political solution appear to be lost.

So what happens now? With scientific alarm continuing to sound, public concern still burning, and investors looking desperately for clear signals, doing nothing is not an option!

• Energy costs are going up rapidly even without an ETS or tax to put a price on carbon

• State governments are still driving their own carbon and energy saving regulations and market-based solutions

• Employees still want to work with environmentally and socially responsible companies

• Consumers increasingly want to live and buy more sustainably  

The Total Environment Centre and its corporate sustainability program Green Capital have shaped a special event and IP package to help answer the big carbon challenges for 2010. To be released at the events, our IP includes our latest issues paper, Doing nothing is NOT an option, and results of our own survey of sustainability professionals.

In the opening part of our Sydney and Melbourne events we’ll ask leading business practitioners of energy efficiency, renewable energy and carbon offsetting to tell us their experiences to date, the role their sector can play – and how they assess the challenges now.

Then, in the second half, our panel of engaged experts will debate the political and policy situation; offer their own perspectives on the future for business and the community; and answer questions from the audience.

At the close we’ll present our package of recommendations to help guide you towards practical solutions for your business.

This is your opportunity to hit the ground running on climate action in 2010 and to find ways to act that benefit your business and society. Because, whatever the governments of Australia and the world end up doing, smart businesses can’t afford to wait around!
