Welcome to a new series of THINK: Business Futures!




In this first episode we ask the question: How have international climate policies, particularly during Trump's presidency, influenced Australia's efforts to decarbonise?




We are joined by Dr Mona Mashhadi Rajabi, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre of Climate Risk and Resilience at UTS, and Professor Damien Giurco, an expert in sustainable resource management and Associate Director of Research at the UTS Institute of Sustainable Futures. Dr  Rajabi shares fascinating research on how net zero announcements by the US, China, and the UK impact global markets and encourage other countries to act. Professor Giurco discusses Australia's decarbonisation journey, the importance of international collaboration, and the ripple effects of policy changes on global financial markets.




We also delve into the effects of Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and the positive market reactions to Biden's net zero commitments. Plus, we analyse China's role in global decarbonisation and what Australia's upcoming federal election might mean for its climate policies.
