Submission to the Garnaut Climate Change Review

Source: Public Interest Advocacy Centre
PIAC's response to the Garnaut Climate Change Review: interim report arises principally from its Energy + Water Consumers' Advocacy Program. PIAC supports the introduction of a 'cap and trade' scheme for reducing emissions as the option most likely to meet targets set for emissions reduction, and agrees that it should cover as many sectors of the economy that produce emissions as possible. This submission concentrates on how low-income households might be compensated for higher electricity prices following the recommendations of the Garnau Climate Change Review.
