This year has seen a significant shift in expectation regarding net zero targets across the globe. Australia’s transition remains under the spotlight with measurable action and government intervention at the centre of the debate.

• Climate Litigation in Australia
• Developments in politics and legislation in Australia's race to embrace clean energy opportunities
• Clean Slate: setting the standard for negotiating renewable energy projects with Native Title holders
• International developments put pressure on Australia’s clean energy transition
• The topics we expect to gain traction looking forward at 2022
