Must climate change end the platinum age? Public lecture by Professor Ross Garnaut

In the inaugural S.T. Lee Lecture on Asia and the Pacific, Professor Garnaut asks: How the risks of climate change will interact with the 'Platinum Age' of global economic growth? What are the limits for global emissions within which the world will need to live if the risk of dangerous climate change is to be kept within acceptable bounds? What principles could be reasonably applied to the allocation of a global emissions budget amongst countries? What global emissions budget would make sense for Australia? What would these principles suggest for Australia’s climate change policy?
