OzCoasts: Climate change
This module provides information and tools to help communicate the risks of sea level rise and other potential impacts of climate change on coastal areas.
OzCoasts provides comprehensive information about Australia's coast, including its estuaries, coastal waterways and climate change impact. This helps to generate a better understanding of coastal environments, the complex processes that occur in them, the potential environmental health issues and how to recognise and deal with these issues. OzCoasts is managed by the Marine and Coastal Environment Group at Geoscience Australia , and represents a collaborative effort of more than 100 scientists and mangers from across Australia.

Emission Reduction Policies and Carbon Prices in Key Economies - Productivity Commission
Climate change is mainly caused by an accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. At the Rio Conference in 1992, there was a broad international recognition of the need for a common effort in order to mitigate climate change. This resulted in the first international legally binding agreement aiming to curb greenhouse gas emissions – the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ).

11.7.6 Technological spillover - AR4 WGIII Chapter 11: Mitigation from a cross-sectoral perspective
Mitigation action may lead to more advances in mitigation technologies. Transfer of these technologies, typically from industrialized nations to developing countries, is another avenue for spillover effects. However, as discussed in Chapter 2 , effective transfer implies that developing countries have an active role in both the development and the adaptation of the technologies.Emissions trading
The important clarification regarding Article 10c of the Directive 2003/87/EC is that the market value of allowances allocated free of charge must not exceed the total costs for investments undertaken by the recipient of free allowances (at the level of company groups). If the total investment costs are lower than the market value of the allowances, the recipients of free allowances will be obliged to transfer the difference to a mechanism that will finance other investments eligible under the National Investment Plan.
