TEDxSydney Salon

TEDxSydney

Somewhere between the dystopian visions of ecosystem collapse and unrealistic utopian fantasies, the roots of Australia’s Net Zero future are already taking hold. What if we were to make the most of the solutions, innovations and technologies that exist today — where would that get us? Some of the greatest leaders and thinkers in their fields are already working to make sure this is the vision of the future that takes hold.

〉The theme of this salon is Net Positive: Visions of a Net Zero Future for Australia

We have the solutions. So, what is holding us back? And what will our future look like if we get this right?
Visionary farmers and financiers, innovators and advocates, will help us conjure a flourishing future that we can all be part of creating.
