This project provides data concerning the GHG emissions produced from Australia’s exported fossil fuels. We have focused on the emissions produced by exports to highlight the huge contribution that Australia and other countries make to climate change via their production and export of fossil fuels.
Why is documenting emissions from exports so important? Apart from air and sea travel, most GHG emissions are produced within the territories of nation states. It is the emissions of states and attempts to reduce them, that are the focus of the annual global Conference of Parties (COP) negotiations under the auspices of the UN.
