"The newly developed Australian Emissions Reduction Model can be used to identify the technologies and strategies needed to meet a user defined emission reduction target. This policy brief provides a preliminary snapshot of one scenario of how Australia could achieve a 25 per cent reduction in emissions below 1990 levels by 2020. This is the minimum unilateral target The Climate Institute believes Australia needs to set to help leverage a global response consistent with our long-term national interest. More can and should be achieved with a comprehensive global agreement."
