The Minister for the Environment has provided the following response: 1. No 2. Not applicable 1. Western Australia is committed to being a part of a national approach to emissions abatement. The Commonwealth Government has committed Australia to meeting the Kyoto target of 108% of 1990 emissions, which will be met mainly through the actions of Australia's state and territory governments in reducing land clearing. Given no further targets have been set at a national level, there are none that we could reflect in the Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy. The Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy addresses this issue in the following way: " Western Australia will determine its own preferred models for greenhouse emission abatement and promote these in any national negotiations over the introduction of national greenhouse targets or programs that are likely to impact on this State's economic or environmental interests. Western Australia must determine, define and promote its own preferred models of emissions abatement frameworks that could apply either to the State as a whole or to industry sectors, in order to protect our unique economic and environmental interests. If there is no action at a national level to establish a framework to achieve lowest cost emissions abatement through market mechanisms prior to the first abatement period of the Kyoto Protocol (2010-2012), the Western Australian Government will consider implementing a State framework or consider joining with other states in a multi-state abatement scheme." 4. During the development of the Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy greenhouse gas emissions where estimated for the State. The Strategy reports total net emissions of 57.2Mt of carbon dioxide equivalents in 1990, 55.3Mt in 1995 and 65.9Mt in 2002. The decrease in net emissions between 1990 and 1995 was due to the land management sector changing from being a net emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly because of land clearing for agriculture, to a net sink of greenhouse gas emissions, due to carbon sequestration by tree plantations. 5. Between 1990 and 2002 total State emissions have increased by an average of 2.8 percent per year. The energy sector has been the largest contributor to the growth in Western Australia's emissions. Between 1990 and 2002 the sector's emissions increased by 42.5%, or 14.4Mt CO2e. Over the same period emissions from the industrial processes sector increased by 38.4%, or 0.3Mt CO2e; emissions from the agricultural sector increased by 16.5%, or 2.7Mt; emissions from the waste management sector increased by 15%, or 0.3Mt, whereas emissions from the land management sector decreased 167.9%, or 8.8Mt. 6. In September 2004 the Western Australian Government released the Western Australian Greenhouse Strategy. The Strategy contains actions aimed at reducing emissions from all sectors of Western Australia including government, industry and electricity generation, waste, households, land use planning and transport and agriculture. The Strategy also includes actions for responding to climate change, encouraging carbon sequestration and the development of new business opportunities. 7. An additional $2.36 million package was allocated to new initiatives in the Strategy, including actions for reducing emissions. The Strategy also contains many actions for reducing Western Australia's greenhouse gas emissions that will be funded from agency budgets.
