As this year’s most critical international climate change meeting begins in Bali today, The Climate Institute has released a comprehensive economic analysis that shows that Australia can afford to join leading countries in avoiding dangerous climate change. 

Note: The report assumes that global action on climate change will continue to allow countries to use international emissions trading to meet domestic emission obligations. This allows Australia to become carbon neutral by undertaking emission reductions in Australia and investing in emission reductions in other countries to offset emissions such as those from our power stations and industries.
