Review of Climate Change Policies: any bright ideas?

The Discussion Paper signals that the Government is open to ideas on how Australia's policy settings could help it meet emissions targets.

The Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy released its Discussion Paper for the Government's review of current climate change policies on 24 March 2017. While it raises broad questions about what opportunities and challenges exist in the various sectors of the Australian economy, it offers no guidance as to how Australia is meant to achieve its 2030 emissions reduction target. You have until 5 May 2017 to make a submission and share your ideas on how the target can be reached.

Why is the Government reviewing its climate change policies now?
