GREENHOUSE 2005: Action on climate change

Melbourne

Interest in greenhouse is high, particularly with regards to action on climate change. There is a strong demand for the latest information on the science, the likely Australian impacts, adaptation strategies and approaches to reducing or capturing emissions of greenhouse gases. There is a clear need to encourage industry, scientists and government at all levels to work closely together in pursuit of ways of tackling this significant environmental problem. GREENHOUSE 2005 will be a major contributor to building an integrated response in Australia to climate change.
