"Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen is today expected to announce a much
anticipated review of Australia’s carbon credit scheme, known as the Emissions
Reduction Fund.
In March, we exposed serious integrity issues with the scheme, labelling it a
fraud on taxpayers and the environment. We welcome the federal government’s
review. Labor has promised a 43% cut in Australia’s emissions by 2030, and a
high-integrity carbon credit market is vital to reaching this goal.
The fund was established by the Abbott government in 2014 and is now worth
A$4.5 billion. It provides carbon credits to projects that reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. For the past decade, it has been the centrepiece of Australia’s
climate policy.
In this and subsequent articles, we seek to simplify the issues for the
Australian public, the new parliament and whoever is appointed to review the
Emissions Reduction Fund."
