This paper titled "Building an Investment Pipeline to Decarbonise Regional Queensland: Pathways For Positive Action", has been produced by the Queensland Decarbonisation Hub in collaboration with RECoE universities, examines the risks and opportunities for regional decarbonisation. It identifies the conditions needed to attract quality investment to achieve net-zero targets and support regional developments.
This report argues that Queensland's regional decarbonisation must be sustainable, inclusive, and resilient, align align with national and state investment principles, and support multiple sectors and scales. It calls for coordinated investment that delivers better economic, social, and environmental outcomes while preparing communities, businesses, and households for a decarbonised future.
It reviews lessons from all stages of the investment pipeline needed to secure quality finance for decarbonisation projects across sectors and regions. It addresses nine focus areas, from sector-wide strategies and infrastructure planning to Indigenous institution strengthening, enterprise decarbonisation, workforce skills, resilience, R&D, and regional finance. It also considers global trade dynamics, Indo-Pacific relations, and governance, marking the Decarbonisation Hub’s first step toward a comprehensive approach. Read the report here.
