Rod Carr: Climate Change Commission Chairman says the Emissions Trading Scheme needs reform

The Climate Change Commission says we're relying too much on planting trees to soak up greenhouse gas emissions.

In draft advice to the Government, released yesterday, it says the Emissions Trading Scheme needs reform.

Chairman Rod Carr told Mike Hosking we need to separate the incentive to reduce emissions, from the incentives to plant trees.

He says that way it's clear as to why we need to reduce emissions and what we expect the outcome to be from planting trees.
