Francesca Muskovic Joins The Investor Group On Climate Change As Executive Director, Policy

One of Australia’s most influential and expert climate policy leaders Francesca Muskovic will join IGCC in late July after almost ten years at the Property Council of Australia.

As the council’s National Policy Director, Francesca has led the property industry’s national policy and advocacy agenda on sustainability, cities, housing and regulatory affairs.

Francesca represents industry on numerous Government advisory boards, including as a Non-Executive Director of the Australian Building Codes Board. In November 2024 The Australian recognised Francesca as one of the country’s top 100 energy players.

Francesca also co-hosts the popular climate and energy podcast Let Me Sum Up, which has become industry and policy insiders’ go-to source of specialist analysis and commentary.

Investor Group on Climate Change CEO, Rebecca Mikula-Wright said:

“Francesca’s record at the Property Council shows all the reasons she’ll be an excellent fit leading IGCC’s policy work.

“She has organised and amplified the voices of a sector that is Australia’s largest industry and biggest employer.

“Her exceptional networks in policy-making circles, her deep climate expertise, and her deft navigation through a complex environment have been instrumental in policy outcomes that are good for the industry and maximise Australia’s climate opportunities.

“Just like the property industry, institutional investors need a supportive policy environment to manage the risks and take advantages of Australia’s transition to a resilient, net zero economy.”

Francesca Muskovic said:

“I’m delighted to be joining Rebecca and the IGCC team to drive ambitious policy reform in what is a critical decade for climate action.

"Investors need certainty on Australia's long-term policy trajectory and competitive settings to ensure Australia is at the forefront of the global race for capital and investment in the net zero transition.

“With the prospect of Australia hosting COP31 in 2026, the eyes of the world will be focused on us and our Pacific neighbours. There is no better backdrop to commit to the strongest possible 2035 emission target, drive the reform necessary and attract investment to the vast opportunities the transition provides.

“I’ve long admired IGCC’s impact and look forward to working with their dedicated team to advance the mission towards a climate-resilient, net zero economy.”
