Professor Garnaut will release the long-awaited draft review of Climate Change this Friday July 4th and will attend public forums in capital cities next week. The public forums start in Perth on Monday July 7 and end in Brisbane on July 11. You can register to attend the forum at www.garnautreview.org.au.Â
Garnaut describes the report as, “the first of three steps in releasing the Review’s perspective on Australia’s
climate change policy options, including the early findings of our modelling work.
“The Review’s work with the Australian Treasury is a oint assessment of the costs of various degrees of Australian mitigation. In addition, the Garnaut Review will go one step further. It will assess the benefits in
climate change avoided at various levels of effective climate change mitigation.”
 He has also released a discussion paper on the emissions trading scheme to be launched by Minister Penny Wong on July 17.
