Advancing a more strategic role for the state in Australia ’ s green energy shift to maximise security benefits
Research project
Green Energy Statecraft is a highly ambitious , globally informed , ‘ whole of nation approach ’ to governing the green energy transition . The approach is being embraced by some of Australia ’ s most important energy , economic and geo-strategic partners and rivals , including South Korea , Japan and China , however it is poorly understood in Australia .
The Green Energy Statecraft project operates as a catalyst and engagement point for research and research-driven impact aimed at helping Australian policy makers understand and interpret the green energy statecraft of Australia ’ s most important international partners and rivals . It also assists policymakers to develop an appropriately strategic Australian response .
Through its dedicated research and engagement activities , the project will help reshape Australian narratives and sharpen the focus of national debate about how to achieve a more strategic role for the state in governing the green transition . Although in its early phases , the project is already influencing policy discourse via media interventions and highprofile public addresses .
