This free webinar, part of a series of events being organised to mark one-year since the launch of the COP26 Pledge, will examine the development of a Blue Carbon Market in Australia to highlight the opportunities it offers for waterborne transport infrastructure.

Presentation by William Glamore, Member PIANC AU-NZ Board,
EcoEng Research Leader and Deputy Director of the Water Research Centre at UNSW, Sydney

Drawing on his extensive experience, Will’s presentation will explore:

• Our current climate trajectory
• Historic approaches to addressing climate pressures
• New approaches required to incentivise positive change
• The development of a Blue Carbon Market in Australia (and beyond)
• The role of environmental economics and engineering in creating new opportunities
• Co-benefits and the evolving accounting markets

After a Q&A session there will be a wider panel discussion on the opportunities a Blue Carbon market offers to the waterborne transport sector, and some of the outstanding challenges, including the relevance of a such a market to other countries.

Professor Nigel Pontee from the UK and Michelle Orr from North America will join Will on the panel.
