Climate change - Next Garnaut episode to be released

13/8/08:

The next instalment of climate change adviser Ross Garnaut's vision for emissions trading will be released on September 5.

Professor Garnaut, who is advising the federal and state governments, will release a draft report proposing the rate at which Australia should try to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The report will also look at the "international context", according to a statement from his office.

It will include economic modelling from Treasury, which has been delayed.

Prof Garnaut released his first draft report on emissions trading in July, but the 550-page document did not contain proposals on the pace of cutting emissions.

He will release the extra draft report at the National Press Club in Canberra.
