This year, the Climate Change Authority is working on four major projects in parallel:
Advice on emissions reduction targets for Australia’s next Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement
Advice for the Minister for Climate Change and Energy’s Annual Climate Change Statement (2023 Annual Progress Report)
Review of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (CFI Review)
Review of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Review).
To support the development of our advice and delivery of these projects, the Authority developed an Issues Paper for consultation. This Issues Paper seeks general feedback on three conceptual frameworks that guide our thinking, and more detailed input on nine key issues that cut across these projects. Our focus on frameworks and cross-cutting issues is our way of providing you with an efficient consultation process for this complex body of work.
Your submission in response to this Issues Paper will contribute towards the development of our projects. We will use the input we receive in submissions, along with information from other sources, in formulating our advice. We also share real world stories by including case studies and quotes in our reports, publish submissions on our website (unless we are asked not to) and share our consultation findings publicly.
Be a part of this important step in advising the Government on the future of climate policy and make a submission at the link below.
