Green Shoots: Opportunities to grow a sustainable WA economy

The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre is holding a breakfast event to launch the fifth report in the Focus on Industry series Green Shoots: Opportunities to grow a sustainable WA economy with special guest speaker, the Hon Dave Kelly BA MLA.
While our understanding of the factors deteriorating our environmental resources has improved, much is left to explore about the potential pathways to achieve sustainable growth and harness new industry and job creation opportunities – particularly in Western Australia.
This special report seeks to fill this knowledge gap by taking stock of the current environmental footprint and development of ‘green’ sectors and practices as well as identifying opportunities to grow a sustainable and diverse West Australian economy.
Join us for breakfast with our esteemed panel, Elizabeth Brennan, Managing Director, agdots; Yvonne Power, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Village Energy; and Piers Verstegen, Executive Director, Conservation Council of Western Australia in a facilitated discussion with Jessica Strutt, Journalist and Presenter, ABC Radio Perth.
This event will include a presentation of the report findings by Professor Alan Duncan, Director, BCEC, and Dr Silvia Salazar, Research Fellow, BCEC.
Date: Thursday 12 November 2020
Time: 7.15am (7.30am start) – 9.00am
