Climate Futures Seminar Series 10

The carbon economy

Wednesday 20 May at 5-7pm, Horace Lamb Lecture Theatre,
The University of Adelaide
Convened by Professor Christopher Findlay

Christorpher Findlay and Frank Jotzo explored what has to change in Australia's economy to get to or near the global per capita average emissions needed under ‘ambitious' mitigation. Policy options and recent changes in climate change policy in Australia were then discussed , followed by a review of the international context of national policy making, likely events at the Copenhagen meeting, interaction between China and the US on climate change, and the gains from international linking of emissions trading schemes.
