A National Carbon Market Strategy for Australia

The Climate Change Authority has recommended the Australian Government develop a National Carbon Market Strategy.

 

This policy brief outlines seven key components that the CMI considers should be included in this strategy to support an uplifted 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and a more comprehensive approach to the bipartisan 2050 net zero target. We believe an enduring national climate policy framework requires robust consideration of market-based frameworks.
