Review of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Legislation
The Climate Change Authority of the Australian Government has released a report that provides an update on the operation of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting legislation, which it is required to do every five years. The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting legislation establishes:
- The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme, which requires large companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions and energy production and use
- The safeguard mechanism, which places emissions limits on large industrial and electricity-generation facilities
- The framework for administration and compliance, including auditing requirements for these and other climate change policies
