Transforming industries, assets and places

Agriculture has a significant role to play in helping Australia meet the Government’s target of a 43% reduction in emissions by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050. Considered one of the hard-to-abate sectors, transformative change needs to occur across agriculture, fisheries and forestry to achieve this. AgriFutures Australia has commissioned Acclimate Partners to develop a report on the national diesel transition for the sector, and identify transition pathways. This report builds on our extensive research into place-based transitions, and Acclimate Partners have identified an approach to enabling localised responses to the energy transition for the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector.

Acclimate Partners, formerly Inclusive Growth Partners, is working with Civic Ledger and FNQ Growers Association in partnership with the CRCNA to develop a world first blockchain-based water market for Northern Australia. More than one thousand far north Queensland producers are expected to take part as the project goes live in 2022. The work will de-risk agriculture development across Northern Australia by addressing growing water security issues and protecting fair access to water.
