Terrestrial Biodiversity Adaptation Research Network

"In 2002, Western Australia established a Greenhouse Task Force to prepare a Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy to ensure the State’s industry and community could contribute to reducing global greenhouse emissions and effectively respond to any opportunities and challenges generated by climate change.

The Task Force consulted with industry, the community and Western Australian Government agencies in preparing the Strategy.

The final Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy provides a comprehensive response to the greenhouse issue.

The Strategy is based on leadership, research, and public and industry engagement. It establishes research programs to enable the State to better adapt to the changing climate, delivers the Western Australian Government’s greenhouse-related policy commitments and establishes a Greenhouse Unit in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to enable Western Australian interests to be represented nationally and internationally. The Greenhouse Unit will coordinate implementation of the Strategy and enable the State to more effectively develop and advocate State greenhouse and climate change policy initiatives."
