Around the world, national governments - and sometimes state governments - operate emissions trading schemes that apply to businesses emitting large amounts of dangerous greenhouse gas.
Australia's program is called the Safeguard Mechanism, and it covers just over 200 factories, mines, and fossil fuel power stations.
Is the Safeguard tough enough? Should it be expanded to cover more sites? What will happen to the Safeguard when Australia decides on a 2035 national emissions reduction pledge?
In this episode, I chat to three Safeguard experts - Thomas Hodson and Grace Tully, both of consultancy Anthesis, and Dr Franziska Curran, an academic and consultant.
After that, I chat with Mark Tilly, Asia Pacific editor with online climate change and nature news services Carbon Pulse and Biodiversity Pulse, about what Australia's stunning federal election result - which delivered a landslide victory for Labor - means for climate change and nature policy.
Tune in to hear from this awesome foursome - Grace, Thomas, Franziska, and Mark!
