About this talk 

Chantal’s excitement is contagious as she presents a 60 second showcase of the Clean State Jobs Plan, 26 big ideas for 200,000 jobs.  

The Clean State Jobs Plan is a complex blueprint for decarbonisation in Western Australia, and it is “proudly parochial”. 

Chantal shares a revelation that feeds her optimism: It’s not science, or the government, that will be the solution to climate change. We are all part of the solution.

In her previous role as Senior Advisor to former Greens Senator and Deputy Leader Scott Ludlam, Chantal was responsible for eight federal portfolios including Housing, Cities, and Transport. 

Chantal is the lead author of the Clean State Jobs Plan, and the co-author of two reports on the impact of WA’s LNG industry on climate change, three successive 100% renewable energy reports for WA, a national housing affordability plan, and the groundbreaking Transforming Perth and #DesignPerth reports.
