A prosperous climate solution
Australia’s agriculture and land use sector is one of the country’s biggest emitting sectors and a key driver of near-term climate change. It is also currently the only sector of the Australian economy that can draw large quantities of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by sequestering it in growing plants and healthy soil. Land Use: Agriculture and Forestry explores how these sectors can mitigate climate impacts on the land, while bringing prosperity to rural areas.
