Former Labor climate change minister Greg Combet has been picked to head the agency tasked with easing the transition to a renewable energy-fuelled economy.

The ex-union boss will chair the Net-Zero Agency, which the Labor government has established to ensure workers, industries, and communities don’t miss out during the push to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
