Abstract

In June 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, 154 countries joined the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 1 The UNFCCC set the goal for industrialized countries to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels in the year 2000. However, since the targets were voluntary, only some countries introduced legally binding policies to reduce GHG emissions and achieve the goal. 2 Australia had actively participated in the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, endorsing the
Summit goals that were formed by the desire for sustainable development.
Australia also joined the UNFCCC 3 and later signed the Kyoto Protocol 4 supporting GHG reduction.
