On the receiving end of among of the worst natural disasters in modern history, while being blessed with some of the most abundant natural resource reserves, and a developed economy, Australia sits in a unique position with regards to climate change.
Many eyes are on the country as it looks to maintain the grid resilience of its traditional coal-fuelled economy, while undertaking one of the most dramatic shifts to renewables in the developed world.
The southern continent walks an uncharted path, with enormous challenges, but with every advantage. A realistic route to renewable energy is possible if it embraces established technology.
