ATA and The Australia Institute present:

Richard Denniss and Alan Pears will discuss Australia's looming emissions trading scheme - the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. They’ll look at what emission trading involves, how the proposed cap and trade scheme should work and if it is likely to work. Discover why voluntary contributions like buying greenpower won’t contribute to reducing emissions under the proposed scheme. A question and answer session follows the discussion.
