Professor Ross Garnaut was commissioned by all of the
Governments of Australia''s Federation to examine the impacts of
climate change on Australia and to recommend policy frameworks to
improve the prospects of sustainable prosperity. The Garnaut
Climate Change Review is one of the most important reports to be
published in Australia for many years. It examines the impacts of
climate change on the Australian economy, the costs of adaptation
and mitigation, and the international context in which climate
change is experienced and negotiated. It analyses the elements of
an appropriate international policy response, and the challenges
that face Australia in playing its proportionate part in that
response. The Garnaut Climate Change Review is highly relevant to
the global problem that is climate change. It considers what
policies the international community should adopt in responding to
climate change, and urges humanity to act now, and in concert, to
develop the required policy response in time.
