Carbon Futures
The impact of climate change and the Carbon Pollution Reduction
Scheme on Australia's South West
Thursday 4 December 2008
Critical Horizons is an opportunity to think
about our region’s future in relation to the big issues we
face.
This seminar explained climate change and the
proposed new Emissions Trading Scheme and its possible affect on
the South West.
The South West with its Mediterranean climate and
dependency on rainfall is very susceptible to changing climate
patterns.
Equally, industry with an export focus including
mining makes a significant contribution to the regional
economy.
A carbon market will change the way the South
West does business. This seminar explored the
business implications for the region as the new era of carbon
trading unfolds.

Greensense 'carbon footprint' report
A carbon report on
the seminar was generated by Greensense in partnership with
Critical Horizons to gain a better understanding of where carbon
emissions are generated. It provides valuable information to help
plan future events which minimise the impact on the
environment.
