First Quarterly event a sell out

We held our first event for 2010 on Monday. Peter presented on the outcomes from the Copenhagen Conference, which he attended in December.
We got a great turn-out, with about seventy people attending, and we were very pleased with the level of interest and engagement. One of the main resons we decided to organise these events was what [...]

Adapting to Climate Change

While our goal is to try and mitigate the worst affects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we are already committed to a changed climate. This is why adaptation should be part of your climate change strategy.
The direct impacts of climate change include increased temperature, shifts in rainfall patterns, increased evaporation, rising sea levels, [...]

Forest Products Commission pull out of carbon market

In a media statement released today, the WA State Government announced that the Forest Products Commission (FPC) will close down its carbon division.
The decision, announced by the Forestry Minister, Terry Redman, will doubtless be well received by the other main players in Australia’s developing forest carbon sector. Companies like Carbon Conscious , CO2 Australia and Rewards Group have [...]

Greensense @ Southbound

Earlier this month, Pete and I took a team to Southbound as part of Greensense’s ongoing partnership with Sunset Events as their sustainability auditor. For any who don’t know, Southbound is one of Western Australia’s largest and most iconic music festivals. Held in Busselton, three hours south from Perth, it attracts over 20, 000 people over the [...]

The Heat Is On

With the end of 2009, many research bodies have released their climate findings for the year and the decade (See Annual Australia Climate Statement or this review of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies Surface Temperature Analysis). The research shows that 2009 was the second hottest year on record in Australia (after 2005) and the [...]

Reflections on Copenhagen – 2 degrees the target, but 3.5 more likely

One of the more positive outcomes from the Copenhagen Accord – and let’s face it, we weren’t inundated – was the acknowledgement by both developed and developing nations that increases in global temperature need to limited to no more than 2 degrees by 2100 if we’re to avoid the worse effects of global warming.  See paragraphs 1 [...]

To The Editor

The letters page in our local paper seems to be full of correspondence from climate skeptics. After muttering to my wife about this over coffee in the morning one too many times, she sent me off to write my own letter to try and balance the score. I’ll let you know if it gets published.
Here [...]

Reflections on Copenhagen – REDD still has a pulse

Arguably one of the few positive news stories coming out of COP15 concerns REDD, or Reducing Emissions through Deforestation and Forest Degradation, a framework which would allow developed nations to pay (mostly) developing nations to preserve their rainforests and so earn tradable carbon credits.
According to the IPCC’s most recent assessment report , deforestation accounts for [...]

Save the whales

We know that climate change presents a real threat to biodiversity. Preserving biodiversity is an end in itself, but there are also economic benefits from conservation. For example, the pharmaceutical industry invests a huge amount in capturing the pharmaceutical potential of biodiversity and species information.
Biomimcry is another fascinating area where humans benefit from biodiversity. Biomimcry [...]

Your Invitation: Copenhagen – after the dust settles…

Greensense co-founder Peter Tickler is currently in Copenhagen for the United Nations discussions on climate change.
We will be running a morning seminar in February to give you the opportunity to hear about the output of the convention, how it will influence your business in 2010 and a chance to network with like minded professionals. The [...]
