Climate Change Impacts Globally
• 75% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers
• 85% of the world's glaciers are in retreat
• Qori Kalis glacier in Peru is shrinking at a rate of 200m pa – 40 times as fast as in 1978
• Hundreds of millions in China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and USA rely on glacier and snow melt for water

Impact on developing countries
• 65 developing countries (½ the developing world's population) risk losing 280 million tonnes of cereal production as a result of climate change. $56 billion, 16% of agricultural GDP of these countries.1

Australia’s Emission Reduction
• On 15 December 2008 the Prime Minister agreed to reduce emission by 5% by 2020 based on 2000 levels
• This increases to 15% if there is a global agreement
• IPCC says developed countries should reduce emissions by 25 – 40% by 2020 based on 1990 levels
• By 2020 the UK reduce emissions by 26% - 32%, Germany by 40% and Sweden by 25%
• EU 20% by 2020, going to 30% with a comprehensive international agreement

China
• Not historically responsible • Reduce energy intensity by 20% below 2005
by 2010, reducing projected emissions by 1.5 billion tonnes
• China committed to retiring 50GW of inefficient coal and oil fired power plants by 2010 (Australia’s total capacity is 40 GW)
• China has higher fuel efficiency standards for vehicles than Australia, Canada and the US.

Coal Industry Success
• Under the CPRS the coal-fired power stations get $3.9 billion over five years
• Australia’s emissions intensity of its electricity supply is the highest of any OECD country
• It is 98% higher than the OECD average and 74% higher than the world average
