Climate Change Authority chairman Matt Kean has material personal interests in three agricultural projects generating carbon credits through green investment firm Wollemi Capital, while at the same time advising the federal government about carbon farming and emissions targets.

Kean, the former NSW Liberal treasurer appointed to the CCA by the Albanese government in June 2024, declared the interests to CCA’s register of material interests when he took on the role. The Australian Financial Review obtained Kean’s declarations to the register under the Freedom of Information Act.
