Opinion: Carbon reduction scheme not enough: professor

| Sourced From |

An academic on Queensland’s Gold Coast says there needs to be a combination of mechanisms to deal with climate change, not just a a carbon pollution reduction scheme.

Professor Jean Palutikof from Griffith University says there needs to be practical steps to deal with climate change.

The issue will be discussed, among others, by around 1,000 delegates at the Climate Adaptation Futures Conference on the Gold Coast this week.

Professor Palutikof says the conference will explore practical steps which can be taken to deal with the effects of climate change.

“It’s all got to be bundled as a package,” she said.

“On the one hand, you’ve got to try and reduce your greenhouse gases and on the other hand you’ve got to introduce ways of dealing with climate change and its impacts.

“It all wraps up into living in a more sustainable way really.”
