The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) gave delegates the bad news that based on present trends the world’s greenhouse gas emissions will continue to increase dramatically. What’s more alarming is ABARE’s view that even if all the aims of the APP are achieved, global emissions will more than double over the same time frame. As the Australian Conservation Foundation President, Professor Ian Lowe, said recently, “The science is very clear. We need to reduce global greenhouse pollution by about 60 per cent, ideally by 2050.”
