Embedded emissions accounting: frameworks for trade in a net-zero world

该项目旨在向政府通报可交易产品中嵌入温室气体排放的潜在会计框架。鉴于国际上出现了与贸易有关的气候政策，如碳边界调整机制，迫切需要公共框架。该项目期望通过将经济、工程、科学和政策观点结合起来，促进全球对嵌入式排放框架的了解。预期成果包括：政府内部能力的提高；澳大利亚利益攸关方之间的理解；与国际方法的融合。预期的好处包括降低全球减排的监管门槛，以及澳大利亚生产商更公平地进入国际市场。

This project aims to inform Government on potential accounting frameworks for greenhouse emissions embedded in tradable products. Public frameworks are urgently needed given the emergence internationally of trade-related climate policies such as carbon border adjustment mechanisms. The project expects to contribute to global knowledge on embedded emissions frameworks by combining economic, engineering, science and policy perspectives. Expected outcomes include improved: capability within Government; understanding among Australian stakeholders; and integration with international approaches. Expected benefits include lower regulatory barriers to global emissions reductions, and fairer access to international markets for Australian producers.
