2010 Conference After Copenhagen: Finding Direction in Climate Law & Policy
	Monday, 9 August 2010  l   The Australian National University  l  Canberra
	A one-day conference organised by the ANU Centre for Climate Law and Policy and Baker & McKenzie, in conjunction with the ANU Climate Change Institute. In the wake of the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December 2009, there is considerable uncertainty about the direction of international and domestic climate law and policy. Internationally, over 100 countries, including all major emitters, have now made pledges to take action to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Despite these commitments, it is unclear what form the post-2012 international climate regime may take and the extent to which the pledges will be realised. The state of the international negotiations has affected domestic policy development with the Australian Government citing the uncertainty as a reason for its decision to postpone the commencement of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). The downfall of the CPRS has left many wondering how Australia will meet its mitigation targets of 5-25% reductions on 2000 levels by 2020. This conference provides a platform for some of world’s leading climate experts to provide updates on the state of climate science and policy and to hypothesise about its future direction.
