Australian tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes wants the country’s politicians to start taking climate change more seriously. He’s putting his money where his mouth is.
Cannon-Brookes, who made his fortune co-founding the enterprise software company Atlassian Corp., is pledging the firm will get all its power from renewable sources by 2025. With Australian elections due next month, the entrepreneur is intent on driving the issue up the political agenda, calling on government and corporations to do more to tap the opportunities presented by generating and exporting clean energy.
