Full title: State-Sponsored Greenwash: Offsetting Us Up to Fail


Chair: Paul Barclay

Adelaide Writers’ Week


While Australia has signed up to ’net zero emissions’ by 2050,
governments and industry are still pursuing an agenda of fossil
fuel expansion. Clever accounting, dodgy offsets and technocratic
fantasies like carbon capture and storage continue to be used to
conceal the fundamental contradiction between plans to increase
gas and coal production and promises to tackle climate change.
This session exposes Australia’s greenwash and regulatory capture
– the critical first step to robust climate policy.
