ATA Submission on Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Green Paper

The Alternative Technology Association (ATA) welcomes the opportunity to provide comment on the Federal Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme – Green Paper, prepared by the Department of Climate Change.

ATA sees the CPRS as one of the important policy tools that will be required in Australia’s fight against climate change. However, as the Garnaut Climate Change Review has clearly stated:

“Establishing a carbon price alone will be an incomplete approach to mitigating climate change; additional measures will be required” (Garnaut Climate Change Review Issues Paper 4, page 2).

It is on this basis that the ATA believe a variety of complementary initiatives and actions will be critical in tackling Australia’s carbon footprint.
