Canberra, Australia, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — This week, government and climate experts are meeting at the United Nations Conference of Parties, COP27, in Egypt. At COP27, governments will report their progress and make agreements to take further action to achieve the Paris Agreement’s outcomes (2015). Confident Strategy Group and YouGov polled over 500 Australian business leaders to determine their confidence level in the Australian Federal and State Government\u2019s sustainability policies. The poll assessed business leaders\u2019 confidence across nine levers of climate change while also considering Australia\u2019s unique environment and biodiversity impacts. This year the poll also did a deep dive into business leaders\u2019 attitudes towards energy sources suitable for Australia.<\/p>\n
In this inaugural poll, we also found the following:<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s poll results may reveal a \u201cgreen bucket” effect as there was little differentiation in confidence levels across all of the policy lever areas. Albeit there are some clear differences by age, headcount, industry and political affiliation, there is still uniformity that reinforces this finding. This may mean more specific education is required regarding what actions are needed to achieve sustainability and mitigate climate impacts in Australia. It may also indicate that transparency on current and future policy performance and measures is required.<\/p>\n
Confident Strategy Group will continue to track this critical policy area annually. Dr Jeanette Fielding, Group CEO of Confident Strategy Group, said, \u201cAustralia\u2019s ability to transform at pace to meet the sustainability and climate challenges is vital to Australia\u2019s future success and the economic welfare of all Australians. While many stakeholders have a role in addressing climate impacts, governments set the roadmap for the country through policies they deliver and the ones they don\u2019t.\u201d She further highlighted, \u201cThis year\u2019s Sustainable Future Confidence Poll indicates optimism exists after the most recent Federal election, and we look forward to continuing to track business leaders\u2019 confidence in the years ahead\u201d.<\/p>\n
