ASVO is pleased to present our in-person Climate Mitigation Conference CO₂₃.  The first industry-wide conference on climate mitigation for the Australian grape and wine sector

Register to attend CO₂₃ and be informed on the key challenges and opportunities of  reducing greenhouse emissions in the wine industry and build a deeper understanding of what is important to the sector.

The conference theme is covered in 6 sessions over two days bringing together experts to explain the science and early adopters to offer real-world strategies to drive value and sustainability for future success.

CO₂₃ opens with the global and national session and an introduction to the Emissions Reduction Roadmap, followed by a  focus on practical ways and innovative solutions to transform how business operates and reduce greenhouse emissions. They are complemented by sessions on demystifying certification; tackling emissions throughout the value chain; carbon capture, use, and storage technologies.; and a hands on session about calculating scope 1 and 2 emissions from vineyards and wineries.

Why you should attend?

Climate change is transforming the way wine is grown and made. CO₂₃ is the most important conference that wine industry stakeholders will attend in 2023, due to the importance of the topic, its relevance to our future, and the practical solutions it will offer. Previous conferences have included topics on climate change awareness or adaptation to climate change. CO₂₃ is specifically about what we can do to reduce emissions in the wine industry in order to mitigate climate change.

The conference runs from Thursday 15 June to Friday 16 June with multiple local venues in each state. 

All around the world, taking action to reduce the emissions that cause climate change is coming more sharply into focus with every passing year. When ASVO first started thinking about this conference, we immediately turned to the expertise of Dr Richard Smart who has been committed for many years to raising awareness within our sector and in urging improvements in practices of mitigation. We thank Dr Smart for coming up with the clever title CO₂₃ for our conference and his valuable input into the conversations that we’ll have over the next couple of days. In addition to Dr Smart, we also thank the CO₂₃ committee for connecting the speakers and topics who will present during CO₂₃. Andy Clarke, ASVO President

This conference is supported by Wine Australia, with levies from Australia’s grapegrowers and winemakers and matching funds from the Australian Government.
