This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Australian water industry, including
key facts,
impacts of climate change, and
adaptation strategies. Steps to mitigation are presented, including measuring and
managing greenhouse gases (GHGs),
why GHGs are relevant, and
what is being done. Concluding observations indicate the following:
the water industry, as an energy intense
industry, has a strong interest in acting on
climate change issues towards mitigation and
adaptation; the
Australian urban water industry has been
proactive in accounting for carbon and
adopting mitigation and adaptation strategies
for our uncertain climate;
fugitive emissions are the "X" factor;
carbon neutrality likely to become the norm; and,
the industry must be positioned for the era of
carbon trading and a carbon constrained world. Includes table, figures.
