A Canberra Skeptics Lecture
 
18th Of September 2009, 6pm-7.30pm
 
FREE ADMISSION
 
The cross-party consensus that Australia should introduce an emissions trading scheme which existed in 2007 has broken down. Many divergent views exist on whether, when and how Australia should act to reduce its emissions. But too much of the debate in Australia ignores or misunderstands the international dimensions of the response to climate change. Once these are taken into account, Professor Stephen Howes argues that there is a compelling case for Australia to introduce an emissions trading scheme (ETS) now.
 
Stephen Howes is Professor of Economics at the Crawford School of Economics and Government of the Australian National University. Prior joining the ANU, he was Chief Economist at AusAID, and before that was with the World Bank. He has a PhD in economics from the London School of Economics. He worked on the Garnaut Climate Change Review in 2008.
 
Dinner will follow the lecture.
  No need to book but note that the theatre seats 106.
