Energy transitions are at the centre of some of the profound changes each nation will need to make to meet the likely internationally agreed carbon targets at the Paris COP21 to limit global surface temperatures.

Dear Russell

Carbon intensive sectors of the Australian and global economy must prepare for fundamental transformations in energy production, transport and consumption - the enabling political, economic and social actions to make this transition presenting both challenges and opportunities.

You are invited to join us at the Paris and Beyond: Climate and Energy Pathways symposium, an invitation-only event with expert practitioners, thought leaders and senior executives from business, government, academia and civil society to hear global perspectives on the current state of climate impacts and economics and the direction of the energy sector in the EU, Australia and Victoria in terms of policy, markets, innovation and integration.

The University of Melbourne European Union Centre on Shared Complex Challenges, together with University partners is hosting the symposium, bringing together international leaders from critical sectors of climate and energy transitions in Australia and the European Union.

Our objective is to share knowledge and ideas about the energy transition and how regions, businesses, communities and individuals can respond to issues such as social impacts, investment risk and consumer preferences.

We hope that you can join us in late October for this symposium, which aims to provide essential Australian and European insights on how the low carbon transition can be achieved.

Professor David Karoly, Professor of Atmospheric Science and EU Centre Research Director, Climate and Energy
