Implementation of Government policy relating to Carbon Management will be the single largest change to our economy in Australia's history.  The approach Australia takes to the management of Carbon will have a significant impact on business and to our society.  While the Coalition and Government disagree on how carbon should be managed, the one thing they do agree on is that change is necessary.  This Forum will explore the latest policy and regulatory initiatives, and highlight recent experiences by industry and business relating to the management of carbon and climate change.  Issues to be examined will include:  

• The Coalition's Climate Change Policy (followed by questions)
