Climate change solutions for Australia 2008

18 March 2008


The Australian Climate Group (ACG) was co founded by IAG and WWF-Australia in 2004 to make a case for urgent action in response to climate change. The ACG reconvened in 2008 to call for urgent action on emissions to minimise the risk of dangerous shifts in climate. The ACG released a report on 18 March 2008, which provides recommendations for Federal Government policy to address climate change.

The ACG's key recommendations to the Australian Federal Government are to adopt measures to:
  • stabilise national emissions by 2010 through both domestic measures and the purchase of international emissions reduction permits;
  • establish an emissions target for 2020 consistent with that of other developed countries (such as the European Union);
  • ensure that the emission trading scheme is designed such that the Australian Government is not burdened by failure of participants to comply with it; and
  • ensure that the national emission trading scheme is flexible enough to respond to new information quickly.
