SUMMARY:The Future of Sustainability Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:In a rapidly changing world\, where pressure is mounting on the systems we rely on\, the need for bold\, collective action has never been greater. While momentum across the tertiary education sector is growing\, the 23rd ACTS Conference calls on the sector to build on this progress with determination—to deepen our efforts to regenerate\, restore and reimagine what is possible. \nHeld virtually in 2025\, the conference is a powerful equaliser. It welcomes not only sustainability practitioners and educators\, but anyone eager to learn from the sector’s progress and its pressing challenges. From emerging leaders to established changemakers\, all are invited to explore the future of sustainability in a space that prioritises equity\, access and action. \nThrough three dynamic streams—Transforming Practice\, Learning for Change and Building a Just Transition—we will explore the systems\, skills and leadership needed to embed sustainability across institutions and communities. These conversations will highlight the practical strategies that bring sustainability to life\, the role of education and capability building in shaping change\, and the transformative power of governance rooted in values. Central to this is the recognition and amplification of Indigenous knowledge systems that have cared for Country for generations\, along with a commitment to justice\, climate action and community resilience. \nThe theme\, “The Future of Sustainability”\, challenges us to move beyond harm reduction and embrace a mindset of regeneration\, building institutions\, communities and futures that are resilient\, just and thriving.

SUMMARY:Optimising energy infrastructure development to provide reliable\, affordable clean energy for industrial hubs
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a dynamic panel discussion on the optimisation of energy infrastructure for reliable\, affordable clean energy in the transition of heavy industry hubs. \nThe panel\, to be moderated by CSIRO’s Dr Tara Hosseini\, will feature Mitch Burt (South32 and Industry Chair of HILT’s Cross-cutting Technologies Program)\, Katie McKenzie (Australian Energy Market Operator)\, Wayne Harris (OneSteel Manufacturing)\, Kim Enkelaar (Renewables\, Climate and Future Industries Tasmania)\, Ben Saward (Grange Resources) and Professor Gus Nathan (HILT CRC and University of Adelaide). \nThe session will cover: \n\nhow heavy industry low-carbon transition pathways may change energy demands\nenergy supply options such as electricity\, natural gas and low-emissions fuels\nfollow-on implications for energy infrastructure requirements.\n\nThe panel will consider what ‘integrated energy infrastructure’ really means for industrial hubs – balancing reliability\, affordability and decarbonisation while supporting investment decisions that minimise costs and keep future options open. \nWe’ll also look at how regional plans connect with national energy planning (including AEMO) and how collaboration between industry\, governments and network planners can unlock and inform investment in energy infrastructure. \nTara will provide an update on HILT project RP3.007 Unlocking investment in energy infrastructure for net-zero industrial hubs\, which is assessing opportunities and optimal pathways for staged investments in electricity and gas infrastructure to support low-carbon energy at scale in key regional locations by 2050. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of this crucial issue and insight into some of the steps that are being – or should be – taken to advance arguably the most important requirement for heavy industry decarbonisation: affordable\, reliable low-carbon energy at scale.
