For this first « Climate Breakfast Roundtable » on Tuesday 28 October, CDC Climat Research and Ifri are pleased to welcome Dr Gordon de Brouwer, Secretary of the Australian Department of the Environment, who will provide an overview of Australia’s domestic climate policy. His statement will be followed by a debate with the audience.
