Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme | Vibepedia

The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme was a proposed cap-and-trade emissions trading scheme for anthropogenic greenhouse gases in Australia, aimed at reducing carbon pollution. The scheme was announced by the Rudd government in 2008, but failed to pass into law. The policy was a major change in Australia's energy policy, and its failure had significant implications for the country's climate change mitigation efforts. The scheme was influenced by the work of [[garnaut-climate-change-review|Garnaut Climate Change Review]] and [[rudd-government|Rudd Government]].
