Garnaut Climate Change Review

A second project for the Garnaut Climate Change Review concerning emissions stabilisation has been completed by CASPI. This five week project started in October. It examines the issue of greenhouse gas stabilisation targets, including consideration of different emissions scenarios and target concentration levels. These scenarios are required as an input to economic modelling as well as addressing concerns about dangerous levels of climate change that may result from excessive emissions. CASPI worked closely with Professors Ian Enting, David Karoly and Dr Nathan Clisby on this project.
