About this episode

In this week’s instalment of Trade Policy Decoded, Pru and Peter host special guest Professor Elizabeth Thurbon to discuss the importance of Green Energy to Australia and newly emerging concepts in Green Energy Statecraft. Having opened and Directed UNSW’s Green Energy Statecraft Project, Professor Thurbon has explored these concepts in depth and provides potential methods that Australia may be able to use in pursuing the frontiers of a green transition. Talking with Peter and Pru, she outlines the national security objectives which would be achieved through pursuing this statecraft, what it would mean for Australia’s trade flows, and how such initiatives might work in a changing international system.Find more analysis on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IIT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn Page and ⁠⁠ACITI ⁠website!
