3. help understand potential implications and opportunities for both Thailand and Australia of increased cross-border electricity trading and the APG, which may relate to economic, geostrategic, climate and disaster resilience, and gender and social inclusion;
4. identify potential further opportunities for Thailand and Australia to cooperate bilaterally on renewable energy, low-emissions technologies and climate change under our Strategic Partnership, including to expand economic cooperation in line with Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.
The Roundtable will be held over one day with a dinner event in the evening. P4I welcomes the consultant's input and support to the P4I activity lead on a balance of innovative components (e.g. technology showcases, interactive sessions, networking) to complement more traditional sessions (e.g. presentations, keynote speeches).
