At its inaugural meeting on 24 February 2023, ECMC agreed to adopt five strategic priorities.  
 
ECMC priorities are:

  • efficiently and effectively contributing to the achievement of all Australian emissions reduction targets 
  • investing in Australia’s adaptation and resilience to climate change
  • empowering and comprehensively engaging with Australia’s regions and remote communities, including First Nations, on the pathway to decarbonisation and Australia becoming a renewable energy superpower
