Touching the void: the Garnaut Review in the chasm between climate science, economics and politics (original) (raw)

The commentary critically assesses the Garnaut Climate Change Review's failure to adequately bridge the gap between climate science, economic policy, and political action in Australia. It highlights how the proposed emissions reduction targets may lead to dangerous climate change and argues that the Review missed an opportunity to foster a broader debate on future policy options. In the context of Australia's tumultuous climate politics, the paper emphasizes the need for stronger targets and a more cohesive approach to climate action to avoid dire consequences.
