Fighting Climate with the Elements

Fire. Air. Earth. Scaling Australia’s carbon solutions.

Carbon markets are entering a more demanding phase. As global scrutiny intensifies and standards tighten, the focus has shifted from ambition to accountability. It is no longer enough to generate credits. The question now is whether carbon solutions can scale with integrity, durability and measurable impact.

In recent months, global standard-setters and regulators have sharpened expectations around permanence and methodological robustness. Engineered removals remain early-stage globally, while nature-based solutions face growing calls for transparency and durability. Corporate buyers are increasingly exploring long-term offtake structures, seeking confidence in supply and integrity.

Against this backdrop, the conversation must evolve. On 9 March, as part of Climate Action Week Sydney, we are bringing together leaders across three foundational domains of carbon innovation:

Fire: Savanna Fire Management, grounded in Indigenous-led land management practices, is evolving under higher integrity expectations. Methodologies are being refined. Monitoring tools are improving. The opportunity lies not only in emissions avoidance, but in scaling culturally informed, landscape-based climate solutions globally.

Air: Direct Air Capture represents engineered durability; the removal of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere for permanent storage. While deployment remains early-stage worldwide, innovation is accelerating. The challenge is not technological potential alone, but commercial scale and cost reduction.

Earth: Soil carbon, environmental plantings and nature repair initiatives offer long-term sequestration outcomes while delivering co-benefits for productivity and biodiversity. As standards tighten, ensuring transparency and measurable permanence becomes central to market confidence.

Each represents a distinct but interconnected pathway toward credible climate impact. The panel discussion will focus on:

• What does high integrity mean across different methodologies?

• How do engineered and nature-based approaches complement one another?

• What commercial models enable durable growth?

• How does Australia position itself as a credible global contributor in carbon innovation?

These are not theoretical questions. They are shaping the next phase of carbon markets.

Join us for this important conversation and enjoy wine, beer and premium non-alcoholic options served throughout the evening, along with generous grazing platters catering to a range of dietary preferences.

Join us at Canva Space on 9 March, 5:30-7:30pm for Fighting Climate with the Elements. Limited seating available.
