Progressive Climate policy is the Soul of Advanced Australia

Development towards a better society and a better future has always been an utmost priority for Australia. In other words, progress is the soul of Australia, which has enabled the country to navigate its journey from “Australia” to “Advanced Australia”. Unfortunately, in the climate front, the country hasn’t been able to progress further and deliver its citizens a firm climate policy yet. The best time to implement and embrace a progressive climate policy for Australia was ten years ago and the second best time is now.

Time to talk about saving humanity, not just the planet!

It’s time to have a serious conversation on how to save “humanity” from the negative impacts of climate change rather than sticking with the old rhetoric – “save the planet”. As human beings, when we are inspired we do things that we wouldn’t otherwise do. The world needs inspiration to act together; aiming to save humanity by fighting climate change can be the necessary motivation for all in today’s gradually warming world.

Issues to consider when linking carbon markets

Australia and Korea have policies in place to curb greenhouse gas emissions in their respective countries. The Australian government through its “Direction Action Plan” aims to reduce emissions through investment in new and more efficient technologies, whereas, the Korean government has had in place a national cap-and-trade ETS since 1 January 2015. The existing trading relationships between Australia and Korea can be considered as an important factor when considering carbon market linkages between these two Asia-Pacific countries, as it will not only aid to proliferate climate change mitigation activities in the region but will also assist in addressing leakage concerns (if any) between these two major trading partners. This paper discusses carbon market linkage issues by exploring the opportunities and challenges of market linkage between two-major Asia-Pacific trading partners – Australia and Korea.
