Smart Energy is published quarterly. © Smart Energy Council 2020 34 Welcome Contrast that with Australia’s work to hold back the tide of anti-coal sentiment globally. With the UK 100 per cent out of coal by late 2024, and the US now committed to being out of coal by 2035, that battle is lost. Globally the conversation has shifted from shutting down coal, to imposing ‘carbon tariffs’ on imported goods. That means if your steel, glass, cement, chemicals and agricultural products are made with fossil fuels, they will be taxed on import at a John Grimes, higher rate than those with embedded clean energy. Chief Executive The problem is Australia’s leaders are not even prepared to admit there Smart Energy is a problem, and to the extent that they do, our targets and actions are Council woefully inadequate in response.

Suddenly Australia is exposed internationally. Right now, Australia is the deer in the headlights.

Now we are on our own. TITANIUM PARTNERS In my view THE US ELECTIONS don’t seem to have done much to clarify the None of that is even close to ideal.

Activists have gotten steadily better at understanding its intricacies and bending its practices. Full disclosure: I began 2020 getting arrested in the lobby of the JP Morgan Chase bank branch nearest the U.S. capitol at the start of the StopTheMoneyPipeline campaign – by October the financial giant, biggest fossil fuel lender on earth, had promised it would become ‘Paris-aligned’. It will take lots more pressure, but it’s pressure worth applying: unlike governments, financial institutions can move quickly, and their edicts are global. Australian activists have been at the forefront of this work, learning important lessons throughout the Adani campaign; now that knowledge is spreading. We don’t know if we can move fast enough to materially slow climate change; we know we have to try.

They are also the most vulnerable to the legacy of decisions made by older generations.
