The Australian debate about how to respond to the challenge of climate change has stepped up a gear in recent months.
E3G Founding Director John Ashton was recently there, meeting with policy makers in his role as a Special Representative for climate change of the UK Foreign Office.
While in Australia, John was also interviewed on ABC’s Lateline show, with discussion concentrating mainly on the imperative of deploying carbon capture and storage technology. Subjects also touched upon include the limited potential role of nuclear power, and the economic risks of inaction.
