International climate change partnerships
Bilateral partnerships
In addition to multilateral action on climate change, Australia is working with bilateral partners, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, on practical actions that contribute to the global effort to respond to climate change.
Bilateral Climate Change Partnership Programme
Through it's Bilateral Climate Change Partnership Programme Australia aims to:
- undertake practical actions that achieve or facilitate emission reductions
- build support for an effective global response to climate change
- improve scientific understanding of climate change
- build capacity to enable implementation of mitigation and adaptation programs
- facilitate market opportunities for greenhouse technologies, products and expertise from Australia and partner countries and thereby expand the capacity for climate change action
- foster direct involvement by industry, business, scientists and communities in bilateral projects to broaden participation in climate change action.
Technological initiatives
Australia is also actively involved in a range of plurilateral initiatives on technology and policy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, including the Methane to Markets Partnership, the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, the International Partnership for Hydrogen Energy, and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership.
