SUMMARY The Authority is required by legislation to review the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) every three years; this is its first review. The review has benefited from consultations with stakeholders from a range of sectors and the Authority thanks those who contributed.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of incorporating urban climate understanding and knowledge into urban planning processes in order to develop cities that are more sustainable.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between fuel price, land use characteristics and household travel green house gas (GHG) emissions in Sydney, and determine fuel price policy implications to efficiently reduce overall travel GHG emissions in the short-term, taking into account social equity.

This paper presents results of an equity analysis of impacts of the Victorian Energy Saver Incentive (VESI) scheme and shows the extent to which savings are being achieved in relatively disadvantaged and advantaged areas of Melbourne.

This paper reports on carbon mitigation actions by Queensland local councils, including four periurban cities (Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redland), five major regional cities (Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Townsville, Toowoomba), and two emerging regional cities (Mackay, Gladstone).
