In an effort to assist with the Kyoto Protocol, Australia is willing to contribute to the concerns of China and all nations as it is clear that we all face significant environmental and economic impacts from climate change across a wide range of sectors, including water security, agriculture, coastal communities, and infrastructure.
My objective is to have Australia assist in sharing information relative to this endeavor utilizing its resources on climate change as decisions made today about infrastructure, health, water management, agriculture, biodiversity and housing will have …show more content…
This program had been running since 1989 and has outlined important guidelines supporting science that provides a clear explanation of global and regional climate.

Climate change science provides the information needed to understand and plan for climate change impacts, thereby increasing community resilience and reducing the cost to society. The ACCSP plays a significant role in informing the development of Australia's climate change policies.

It is difficult to predict how to properly foster a bipartisan take on climate change since many different parties support separate issues involving interconnected resources and groups.
It is possible that Australia can assist in the climate change effort with the assistance of all nations along with global awareness grass root strategies success could be
