Managing policy for the economic consideration and adaptation of climate change in Tasmania

A Project for the Tasmanian Training Consortium course "Managing Policy-The Challenges and Opportunities"

Project Objective

To develop policy elements for the incorporation of economic considerations into Tasmania’s climate change policy.

Project Background

The Tasmanian Government has issued its draft climate change strategy for Tasmania that documents State policy on climate change.  Corresponding to the release of the draft strategy has been the Stern Review: The economics of climate change.  In the light of the latter report in particular, a clearly identified need exists to ensure the relevant elements of the Stern Review are reflected in both the policy statements and action plan in the draft climate change strategy.

What's  New

Project work complete and presented on 27 April 2007.  Please note this project was a training exercise and does not represent, or purport to represent, policy of the Tasmanian Government.  This site was established to assist the project team participants access key information on climate change.  it proved to be useful primarily as an archive of key information and I am maintaining as a portal on my own website.  This is for the purposes of information to those interested in the topic and any views presented are not necessarily mine.  If you wish to provide additional useful information on climate change and would like links/documents added to this site, please forward to me by email at andrew@acbishop.com.
