We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto” Australia will be getting a big dose of Carbonomics – a greenhouse gas reduction target, a national emissions trading scheme, complementary measures such as the 20% renewable energy target, energy savings rules for buildings, and more. Every business will be affected. What should the new rules and regulations look like? What will be the costs for business and the community? How can organisations benefits from the transition to carbon markets? The interim Garnaut report has produced a new round of economic, political and policy challenges - targets for deep cuts to 2020; limited sectors to receive free emissions permits; broad coverage of the economy; low income and regional impacts; the role for energy efficiency and research. The Carbonomics panel will review the Garnaut findings and take the debate further... A panel of business and community leaders will debate the merits and potential pitfalls of an Emissions Trading Scheme and the transition to a new economy...
This event will include presentations on the market implications and opportunities for Australia in the new carbon market. Environment groups will also be releasing their key principles for an emissions trading scheme, at the event.
